Miscellaneous

• ISHII (石井) is a popular surname in Japan. Shun is also common, but the corresponding kanji (竣) is rarely used for names. The only example I know of this character being used in everyday language is the word 竣工 (or 竣成).

• Other than mathematics, I enjoy reading books, hiking in mountains and taking photos of wildflowers. You can find some of my favorite books at this page, and some photos here (Warning! the page won’t open since the photo files are too large).
