Hi! My name is David C. Bryant. For now I'm using this page primarily to conduct experiments with Wiki markup, because I'm already tired of the conflicts that arise when I use the generic "sandbox" page. 21:58, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

I've already run across quite a few "stub" articles. I think I'll work on some of those for a while. Here's a useful link -- wikipedia:stub. 16:14, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

This is an experiment -- I want to create my own sandbox. Oh -- here's how to maintain sub-pages. 16:25, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

I've been reading the style manual. Here's another useful link -- wikipedia:picture tutorial. Here's another one, for contacting the community of mathematicians: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Mathematics. Here's still another one, for combatting vandalism. Here's an important editorial guideline. Here's a useful table of math symbols. Here's an even bigger table of math symbols. Here's the mathematics portal. 20:00, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Here are some links to useful math research resources.

Here's an external link to a useful table of html entities.

Here's an external link to Abramowitz and Stegun.

This is an interesting way to spy on yourself.

Here's another unhelpful set of rules to follow.

A useful list of templates for talk pages.

Today I found a stub article about quadratic surds. Since I've spent so much time working on those already, it might be fun to expand that particular topic. 19:18, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

I can't really do a good job on quadratic surds until the article on continued fractions is fixed up a bit. Here's a pointer to my working copy. 15:39, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

I searched through all 11 CIT alumni/students who are flying Caltech's flag. It appears that I'm far and away the oldest of the bunch ... most of the rest weren't even born when I graduated in 1973. Oh -- there's a pretty good article about the student houses. It appears that some alley names at Lloyd have changed since I was an undergrad. 21:33, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

I've been absent from these pages a long time -- too long. Now I'm back. Watch this space for more. DavidCBryant 07:09, 1 September 2018 (UTC)

I lived in Denver, Colorado for almost 40 years, from 1975 - 2013. Kathryn and I moved to Canyon Lake, Texas about six years ago.
