About
I’m Samuel. I study Mathematics and Scientific Computation at UC Davis.
This is where my academic and professional writing goes, and where I point people who want to find my work. Right now I’m reviewing real analysis before the next course in the fall.
Some things I’ve made:
- How Fragile is the AI Industry? — circular deals, the dependent stack, and an interview with someone at Sierra.
- A short paper on maximizing expected turn score in a dice game.
- 17 merged pull requests to passagemath, an open-source computer algebra system, through the UC Davis Math Lab.
- The Berkeley Rule — I drafted operational standards for this municipal AI ordinance as an intern for Councilmember Igor Tregub. Berkeley’s City Council adopted it in March 2026.
