Other

  1. The Second Carib War, N. McNew, Rocky Mountain Undergraduate Review 2 (2009)
  2. Research in history done while I was an undergraduate on an island war which played a small role in the greater French Revolution.

  3. Random Walks with Restarts, 3 Examples
  4. A survey article I wrote for a course at Dartmouth which corrects an example given in On Playing Golf With Two Balls by Dumitriu, and Tetali, and Winkler.
    It also presents a new heuristic argument for the asymptotic hitting time with restarts on a 2-D lattice.
