Boogie Math is a collection of stories about a silly guy who
likes mathematics. And how his family, friends, and
neighbors see his ridiculous mathematical endeavors. It is
stories about how he learns mathematics, how he uses
mathematics in his daily work as an applied cryptographer,
and how he teaches mathematics to his and his friends’ kids
and his senior neighbors.
The guy’s name is Miha Stopar. He has a wife and three
daughters, none of whom ever feel like listening to him
(especially when he’s talking about mathematics). He spent
his twenties writing
a novel
that nobody has read. He studied math and was 100% sure he
would never work with computers. He ended up being a
programmer. He now implements cryptographic protocols for
Ethereum Foundation.

Vera is an all-rounder. Besides her native Slovenian language, she speaks German and Italian. Vera can fix leaking pipes and can easily kill and cook a chicken in 30 minutes. The only thing she knows nothing about is computer science. But this doesn’t stop her from having strong opinions about everything computer-related, and the funny thing is she is almost always right. She thinks Boogie Math is a glorious waste of time.
Andraž is the author’s brother-in-law. He is the CEO of a company that makes garden gnomes and mowers. As he likes to say: the best gnomes in the world. Well, the best mowers in the world too. Andraž thinks Boogie Math is a ludicrous mix of math and nonsense stories. Even so, he thinks the author should at least try to make some money out of it. You should try to make money out of everything, you know. He would like to see Boogie Math finally become a serious mathematical website. Whatever that means. He particularly dislikes the newsletter subscription text.
