| Bio: | This is the friends only journal of Mathew Crawford. My professional blog can be found here and is syndicated on LJ at ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/syndicated.gif) mistacademy.
I add all friends, some friends of friends whose journals I find interesting, math peoples, people who make interesting posts in communities I visit, and other people, so it's not all that private. I do however have several layers of filters for my more private thoughts.
I value the entrepreneurial spirit. I only feel happy when I'm working toward building something that nobody else would build.
I value exploration of people. I detest people who are too busy looking for reasons to hate others to explore who other people are (yes, I recognize the irony -- I'm a man of many contradictions).
I value exploration of ideas. There's really too much to say here for this little profile.
I am a scientific thinker. I cannot fathom why people choose world views they're unwilling to test and refine.
I write math books for students interested in digging deeper into the heart of mathematics and problem solving. My first major book is an Introduction to Number Theory. My second major book, coauthored with Richard Rusczyk, is Intermediate Algebra, which is not simply an Algebra II book, but spans a great deal of algebra often left untouched even through an undergraduate degree program.
If you're on my personal friends filter, you should be able to see my contact information here. If you should be in that filter and you're not, let me know.
