Yan Zhang's Personal Page

I won't have time to write too much here. My favorite hobby is talking to people I don't know about things I don't understand, so email me at yanzhang (snail thing) post.harvard.edu.

If you are looking for my academic page, please go here.

I write on 3 public blogs:

Blue Slate, personal blog
Concrete Nonsense, a group math blog
Necessary Games, Jordan Magnusson's blog about videogames, with an indie bent
