I am Ankit Patel. I am currently working on obtaining my BS in Computer Science from the Rochester Institute of Technology. If all goes well, that'll be in 2013. This was supposed to be a place to showcase my pet projects and various creative endeavors, but has fallen by the wayside given my various off-line activities.
New episodes of Futurama are expected to be aired this year. In an APS News exclusive, Cohen reveals for the first time that in the 10th episode of the upcoming season, tentatively entitled “The Prisoner of Benda,” a theorem based on group theory was specifically written (and proven!) by staffer/PhD mathematician Ken Keeler to explain a plot twist. Cohen can’t help but chuckle at the irony: his television-writing rule is that entertainment trumps science, but in this special case, a mathematical theorem was penned for the sake of entertainment.
