Category Archives: Baldridge Theorems

Before Pythagorus, there was no proof of Pythagorean Theorem. Similarly, before Scott Baldridge, there were no “Baldridgean Theorems.” Find out more about theorems I have discovered and proven. Do not be afraid to explore this section–I padded it with videos and fun stuff related to my theorems.

Dr. Herman Lyle Smith: LSU’s First Math Doctoral Mentor and the Architect of Modern Convergence

Posted on 03.21.26 by Scott Baldridge

Herman Lyle Smith helped launch LSU math’s earliest Ph.D. tradition in 1929. He was the co-creator of nets, the deep framework of generalized convergence that reshaped modern topology and analysis. This post discusses his life, legacy, and the mathematical idea that made him one of America’s best-known mathematicians. Continue reading →

Baldridge-McCarty TQFT versus SU(2) Spin Networks: What’s the difference?

Posted on 06.12.25 by Scott Baldridge

The Question I Always Get When I give talks on the n-color homologies, I am often asked whether the underlying topological quantum field theory (TQFT) is based on , , or . It’s a fair question – the way we … Continue reading →
