About Me
- Mason
- I am a Professor in the Department of Mathematics at UCLA. Previously, I was Professor of Nonlinear and Complex Systems in the Mathematical Institute at University of Oxford. I was also a Tutorial Fellow in Somerville College. I am also a die-hard fan of the Los Angeles Dodgers. See my website for more information about me. You can also find me on Facebook and Twitter (@masonporter), though I'm much easier to stalk by other means. If you want power law or Zachary Karate Club swag, take a look at my Power Law Shop. I am also involved with the Legends of Caltech movie and co-edited Legends of Caltech III.

Sweet. I posted a link that had two of those before, but most of them were new to me. Makes me want to contribute something of my own by fishing out an old AMa 95b final of mine. "What did the chicken do?"
I've seen a few winners in tests that I've graded.
Another of my favorites occurred in a rough draft one of my research students once wrote. In it, she referred to "consecration" of angular momentum. I guess the Atlanta influence was too much for her. (She's quite brilliant; it was just a matter of word substitution, which is also one of my specialties.)
