About Me
My name is Jay Cummings and I am a math professor at CSU Sacramento. I received my PhD in 2016 from UC San Diego under Ron Graham. Most of my published work is in various areas of combinatorics. I am striving to write textbooks which are enjoyable to read, highlight the beauty in mathematics, and are significantly more affordable than other textbooks on the market.
I am married and my kids are the cutest. They are 1 and 3 at the time of this writing (early 2025). The dream would be to write a math book with them some day. We’ll see.
