He earned his Ph.D. from the University of Washington in 2008 and spent five years at Princeton University before making his way to Oregon. Micah's primary area of research is in geometric analysis, where he has authored over 30 publications with applications to partial differential equations, optimal transportation and the geometry of large data sets, and been awarded two National Science Foundation research grants. At University of Oregon, he has taught a ranging variety of courses on subjects including Bitcoin, voting science, geometric flows and dynamical systems. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 344\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.72 x 9.61 x 6.69 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 17, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47202573975801,"sku":"9783110772838","price":99.34,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/ZmhFL0p4WStzMGUzMnhXRWRSSTNDQT09.webp?v=1767996890","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/bitcoin-a-game-theoretic-analysis-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
