[edit] Introduction

I'm an irregular contributor to Wikipedia, but I thought I should leave a page for comments and the like. My interests are varied; right now I especially enjoy mathematics, political science, and linguistics.

[edit] Programming

I program in a number of different languages, as noted in the userboxes. I've opted to leave out programming level, for lack of a standardized way to determine expertise. Also, for visual simplicity I've left off:

Web design languages like HTML, JavaScript, PHP, and CSS
Esoteric programming languages like BF
Languages I don't use seriously like Forth

[edit] Math/PoliSci/Economics

Arrow's theorem: "Good" voting systems can't be IIA.
Gibbard-Satterthwaite theorem: "Good" voting systems can be manipulated (unique winner).
Duggan-Schwartz theorem: "Good" voting systems can be manipulated (winning set).

[edit] Academic beliefs

I believe in:

The objective reality of mathematics, and in particular ZF C.
The value of the Smith criterion in elections
The use of quad precision in IEEE 754r

I don't believe in:

Glottochronology as a reliable method for dating languages
The value of Saari's analysis of the Borda count
Universal grammar

[edit] Active/Stative languages

This might be the beginnings of an article, or additions to an existing article, or nothing. I haven't decided yet.
