Why Polly Wanna Math?

Polly wanna math is blend of the word polymath and the expression Polly wanna cracker. It represents both my method of learning, repeating the best ideas I hear until I either alter it in a way that better suits my understanding of a concept or hear a better idea (parroting), and my broad, rather than deep curiosity. My hope for this blog is that it becomes a sort of repository of cocktail-party tidbits that will continue to be shared and argued by my readers.
