Hello, world.

Welcome to discover your talent, do what you love.

I'm your host, Don Hutchison.

Every Monday, I interview someone from around the world who's discovered their talents to do work

they love to create a life of success, satisfaction, and freedom.

On Fridays, I interview an individual with many years of experience from one of the most

to do what they do.

Today I'm delighted to bring you our featured guest, Professor Edray Herbert Goins, and our topic,

a day in the life, what's it really like to be a mathematician statistician? Welcome, Professor Goins.

Thanks for having me. It is our pleasure. Professor, are you using your talents doing work that you love?

I'd like to think so. All righty. Well, we want to hear the whole story. A few words about Ed Ray Herbert Goins. He's a professor of mathematics at Pomona College. He's worked as a researcher at both Harvard and the National Security Agency and has taught

at both Caltech and Purdue.

Professor Goins has published over 20 journal articles in areas such as applied mathematics,

graph theory, number theory, and representation theory, and on topics such as

dion fanteen equations, elliptic curves, and African Americans in mathematics.

He's acted as a referee for 20 different journals in mathematics,

served on dozens of panels for the National Science Foundation,

and has given more than 150 invited addresses on his research.

Well, an amazing background, Professor Goins.

Well, as I mentioned, we'd like to open each interview of a day in the life with some
