Everyone has their own struggles in life. My main roadblocks have been my four mental/neurological disorders. I have Tourette Syndrome, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, and Asperger Syndrome. While I have had very difficult times in my life, and have been hospitalized many times, I realize that my disabilities have helped shape the person I am today, and that while it may be tougher, I can accomplish anything in life that a "normal" person can. I choose to observe the many positives in my life, rather than the negatives: A loving and supportive family, an education, caring friends, and a place to call home. Many of my friends do not have all of these gifts. I will therefore continue to make progress in achieving my goals, regardless of the difficulties I may experience along the way.
My name is David Smith, and here you can find information about me, my interests, and my mathematical discoveries.
I am 22 years old, and am a college student majoring in mathematics and physics. I live with my mother in the town of Crofton, MD. My interests include mathematics, physics, computer programming, chess, retrograde analysis (a very logical and unique genre of chess problems), mathematical, mechanical, and computer-based puzzles, speedcubing (the art of solving a Rubik's Cube as fast as possible), and blindfold cubing (the art of solving a Rubik's Cube blindfolded as fast as possible).
I plan to put all of my current and future mathematical discoveries on this website, as a way to organize my work and share it with others. So far, all of my results are about the combinatorics of higher-dimensional permutation puzzles, as this is a special interest of mine. I plan to continue in this area for some time, until I am more competent at doing proofs in higher-level mathematics. I have also included sections relating to my other interests.
Thanks for visiting my website; I hope you found it interesting. I will keep updating it as I continue my work. If you have any comments, questions, or suggestions, feel free to email me at djs314djs314@yahoo.com.
