I'm a first-year graduate student at MIT, in theoretical computer science. That means I belong to the EECS Department and the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab.

In June 2007 I graduated from Harvard College in mathematics.

Pending publications:

• Gabriel D. Carroll and Gregory N. Price. Two combinatorial models for the ptolemy recurrence. Results obtained and draft written in spring 2003, at Prof. Jim Propp's REACH program; revisions happening now...
• Gregory N. Price. Permutations and ordinals: Wilf equivalence extended. Results obtained in summer 2004, at the Duluth program. Talk given at January 2005 AMS-MAA Joint Meetings. Writeup happening now, with some new results too.

Some activities, summer programs, jobs, etc.:

• Duluth Math Research Program 2004; this is an excellent program, it does very well at getting mathematicians and math students of a wide range of ages together, it's where I learned that math research is great fun, and this summer I'm actually writing up my results...
• Harvard Computer Society (former president)
• Harvard Free Culture, formed in reaction to the increasingly invasive scope and effectively unending duration of copyright restrictions
• Harvard Glee Club, 2004-2006
• Harvard-MIT Math Tournament
• Google, summer 2006; this is a company that's thought hard about setting up an environment where people not only enjoy working there but get smarter (learning from each other and otherwise) doing so. Highly recommended (at least for a summer) for anyone who likes writing software.
• MIT Mystery Hunt, on team Codex; third place 2006, second place 2007. Our rank has decreased/improved monotonically since the team was founded in 2001, so we'll see what comes of that...
• in high school: USA Math Olympiad, USA Computing Olympiad/International Olympiad in Informatics, and US Physics Team/International Physics Olympiad. All highly recommended; I learned a lot and met many of my oldest friends.
