dcljr is a math tutor who was born in 1969 and now lives in Austin, Texas.
In case anyone has come here to check my "credentials", here they are: B.S. in Mathematics, M.S. in Statistics. (Actually, an ABD in the latter. Never pass up an opportunity to point that out. ;) As far as credentials in any other areas — humanities, philosophy, general life experience — I ain't got 'em...
If you know another dcljr online, it's probably me. I have a sizable website and admin a dying mailing list.
I have user pages on the following Wikipedias whose languages I barely know:
I have other user pages in languages I don't know at all (and in Simple English). See the interlanguage links elsewhere on this page.
I've also been known to contribute to:
Quick links
Pages I can never find quickly enough:

In development
I'm currently working on a few long-term projects. Please do not edit these pages. Comments and questions should be directed to the talk pages.
I also have a personal sandbox where I sometimes go for extended testing of ideas, to avoid interruption by other users' edits.
