Daniel Rui
Hello, dear visitor! Here lies my little château numérique at road's end -- please do enjoy your stay! If you want to read more about me, you can visit the About me page.
All my (somewhat presentable) mathematical work is on the Publications page, and Tiny-Daniel™ videos and other piano paraphernalia are on the Music tab. If you want to view all my old math work, take a trip down to the Archive -- keep in mind though that all of those I wrote in high school, so the quality may be unbounded in the negative direction. Should you want to contact me for whatever reason, just send me an email at danrui@ucla.edu. Oh, and before you go, here's a visualization of the Riemann Zeta Function courtesy of 3B1B and then some quotes!

"The mathematician's patterns, like the painter's or the poet's, must be beautiful." - G. H. Hardy
"Music is the pleasure the human mind experiences from counting without being aware that it is counting." - Gottfried Leibniz
"Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but supreme beauty-a beauty cold and austere ... yet sublimely pure and capable of stern perfection such as only the greatest art can show." - Bertrand Russell
"Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it." - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
"If you want to really hurt your parents, and you don't have the nerve to be gay, the least you can do is go into the arts. I'm not kidding. The arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven's sake. Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possible can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something." - Kurt Vonnegut, in A Man Without a Country
"It was played in New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, etc. At the first two performances I was present. It was played wonderfully. Its reception by both the public and critics was sour. One review sticks painfully in my mind: that I didn't have a Third Symphony in me any more. Personally, I am firmly convinced that this is a good work. But—sometimes composers are mistaken too! Be that as it may, I am holding to my opinion so far." - Sergei Rachmaninoff, on his 3rd Symphony in a 1937 letter
