Well all, today was my last day of classes as an undergraduate student. That journey has ended and a new will begin soon!

Final project
Ever hear of Matching Theory?
Although the theorems are pretty straight-forward and lacking any elegant proofs, I have found some interesting applications. For example, The Kidney Exchange by Alvin Roth of Harvard, which you can view by clicking HERE.
He utilizes concepts such as directed graphs, cycles, paths, and I'm sure some other important ideas. Unfortunately I haven't made it through the entire paper yet, but I assure you I will. My final project is dependent upon this paper for a lecture that will emphasize the applications of Matching Theory.

I'm Back!
Wow, I have been an absent blogger for too long! Perhaps I should start by shedding some light on the tasks that have been consuming my time, leaving none for blogging.
First, I am still an undergraduate student. It is my last semester as such and I'm working my tail-end off to walk across that stage. If you were to look at my class schedule you'd think it was easy, but when you throw in the study time each class requires, three part-time jobs, and then any necessary activities like eating, sleeping, or socializing, then you'd see just how crazy this semester has been.
Oh yeah, don't let me forget to tell you about finding the time to study for and to take the GRE general and subject tests. Also, researching schools to send those scores to, which also involves completing applications and writing several versions of my Statement of Purpose. All of you who may be thinking about graduate school someday, here's where I give you some advice: DO ALL THIS CRAP DURING SUMMER VACATION!
Despite all that, I'm still curious about the Fibonacci, Padovan, and other sequences. I'm anxious to reunite myself with the stack of papers lying dormant on my desk. Any suggestions on where to start?
