arindam-codes — Arindam Bhattacharjee. Kolkata, India.
Mathematics, computation, and quantitative research. Building systems through deep understanding.
Where it started
In class 6, I sat by a bus window and felt the air push against my hand. I did not accept it as just wind. I started experimenting - why it feels heavier at certain speeds? Why does shape changes everything? Without any textbook, without any guidance, I started building a formula. Area of the object. Speed. Something multiplied, something divided.
I was reaching for fluid dynamics. Nobody told me that. Everyone told me to focus on the syllabus.
The search
I thought I loved physics. Joined a physics college. Pure theory without the deeper structure felt hollow. Left.
People said Mechanical Engineering was the answer. It was not. I could do it. But I could not feel it.
Then computation. The idea that you could solve something without fully knowing it first. Closer. But still not complete.
I kept digging. Underneath physics. Underneath engineering. Underneath computation. At the bottom of everything - mathematics.
The moment I knew
When I understood epsilon-delta, really understood it - I spontaneously connected it to how a missile radar tracks its target. No one told me that connection existed. It just appeared.
When I watched a 20 mins video on Dijkstras algorithm. Immediately connected it to airplane routing, GPS, network wiring, resource allocation. Then applied binary search spontaneously in a whatsapp conversation to guess a friends salary within ₹33 in 6 guesses.
Same structure. Everywhere. Once you see it you can not unsee it.
What I'm building
4 years deep in Mathematics and Computation. MIT OpenCourseWare - Calculus, Linear Algebra, Probability, Stochastic Processes, Computation.
Systematic trading built on genuine mathematical edge. Pure thinking as the product.
10 hours daily. Gym. Meditation. Building in public at arindam-codes.
Why
I do not know if I will end up something like - the work complete, the life solitary Or someting like - the vision real, the recognition late.
I am doing this out of love. Not for approval. Not for a salary. Mathematics feels like god's thought to me. And I cant not do this.
