Who am I

Alltså... my name is Mikko Pekkarinen. I was born on May 11^th 1976 in Turku, Finland. I've got three brothers, one sister, one mom, one dad and no pets. My sister has two turtles. Currently I live in Tampere. Since 1996 I have been pretending to study mathematics, programming and (to some extent) signal processing at Tampere University of Technology. In 1999 I spent the fall term in Budapest. I happened to graduate in spring 2000. The abstract and ToC of my MSc. thesis are available online. I also had a job as a research assistant at the Signal Processing Laboratory, in the Data Fusion Group, but I quit in autumn 2000. Additionally, I have been working on some math courses as the guy who mumbles in the tutorials. (During my freshman-year for the first time!)

Currently I'm a graduate student at TUT. I might become a Dr. Tech. some day.

Hobbies and what-not

I don't have any hobbies. Or maybe I have some. Quite many in fact. These at least: Math, jogging, programming, reading, skiing, making (cheap) food, baking, sleeping, reading cartoons and beeing a fan of Winnie-ther-Pooh and Moomins.

My WWW-pages

If you think I'm ever going to translate all my pages into English, Swedish, German, Hungarian, Gnomish or anything else, you are wrong. (Just my opinion, and they tend to change once in a while...) However, at least I checked the spelling of one of my Finnish pages in English. The result doesn't make any sense, but the spelling should be correct.

Pages in Finnish

• Me: unnecessarily detailed information about me.
• Math: Writings by me on miscellanous mathematical topics. For example:
  • Archimedean solids
  • Function that generates primes
  • Function that's continuous nearly everywhere
  • Etc.
• My Bookmarks
• Bullshit: useless pages. Screen-saver of a calculator. IQ-test. Etc.

Pages in English

• Hungary Pages: I spent 4 months in Budapest as an exchange student in 1999. These pages contain my diary from that time, some anecdotes, and also some potentially useful information about studying abroad and especially in Budapest.
• Computer programs by me. [XXX Not ready, and not likely to become]
• Feedback form (defunct)
• This page

That pretty much covers it. If you want to know more, learn Finnish. Only don't blame me if you don't.
