Off to Mathcamp

So I'm off to Mathcamp between July 2 and August 6. In that time, I will not be on AIM at all, but you can still reach me by e-mail, LiveJournal, and Xanga.

Other notes...

• If you really want to send me something nice, ask me and I'll tell you the postal address.
• If I end up spending a lot of time at a computer, you might be able to catch me on Google Talk.
• I'll have a phone in my room, but chances are I won't usually be in there. You can still ask me for the number, though.

I will bring a cell phone. You can get my number by asking me or solving the problem at the end of this entry. Below are the estimated times that I will be available. I'll keep this updated as I go.

• Weekdays in the mid-afternoon (2-4 pm)
• Weekdays after dinner (7 pm and later)
• Weekends all day except at meals

So, all you Mathcampers, I'll see you at Mathcamp! All my local friends, I'll see you after I get back! All the rest of you... sorry, I don't get to see you guys at all.

Footnote: Cell Phone Math Problem

The integers p, q, r, s, and t (not necessarily distinct) are all between 0 and 99 (inclusive).

• p¹¹ = 7153014030880804126753
• q¹¹ = 2450808588882738675712
• r¹¹ = 1951354384207722496
• s¹¹ = 131621703842267136
• t¹¹ = 317475837322472439

Let f(x) = px⁴ + qx³ + rx² + sx + t. f(100) is my phone number.
