English is one of my first languages. Versed in the nuances of a few major native dialects of the language, I hope to improve my skills and share my knowledge by interacting with others on this forum.

I majored in physics and music at Williams College, MA, and taught math at The Pennington School, NJ, for two years. Currently a PhD student in civil engineering at Johns Hopkins University, MD.

Apr 15	comment	Why do English writers avoid explicit numerals? @AndrewLeach: The term "Arabic numeral" specifically refers to "0, 1, 2, ..., 3". That does not mean this is how they are written in modern Arabic. (Obviously, numerals in Arabic are completely different today.) Actually, the system was established in India but reached the West likely through the Arabian peninsula, hence the term. Prior to this, Roman numerals ruled the day (in Europe, that is).
