About the Author
Patrick Jones (also known as PatrickJMT) has a master’s degree in Mathematics from
the University of Louisville. Although he also did a bit of PhD work at Vanderbilt
University, he decided that the academic life was not the correct path for him because
he wanted to focus more on the teaching aspect instead of spending time on research.
He has one mathematics paper published, for which he received Erdõs number 2, and
after that his research days came to an end.
In addition to teaching at the University of Louisville and Vanderbilt University, he has
taught classes at Austin Community College.
While teaching, he also did some tutoring on the side and decided that he enjoyed the
one-on-one aspect of tutoring over the stand-and-lecture mode of teaching. Because
every student has questions outside of the classroom, he started posting short supplements for his students on YouTube under the name PatrickJMT. Although he thought
only his students would watch the videos, positive feedback from all over the world
came in, and he started posting more and more videos — so began the video-making
career of PatrickJMT. Now Patrick primarily spends his time expanding his video
library, although he does regular consulting work for many other projects as well.
In addition to being one very happy guy professionally, he is an avid cyclist and chess
player, although he doesn’t claim to be very good at either activity.
