Hello, fellow speedsolvers! Pleased to meet you. My name is David Smith, and I hope to be a positive contributor to the community. 
I am 23 and am a college student majoring in mathematics and physics, living in Crofton, Maryland. My interests include speedcubing, blindfold cubing, mathematics, physics, chess, retrograde analysis (a unique type of chess problem), computer programming, and math, logic, and disentanglement puzzles. I average around a minute on the standard cube, and have solved the cube blindfolded about 10 times. I am also interested in the mathematics of the Rubik's Cube.
One of the reasons I wanted to join this group is to share a mathematical result I found for the Rubik's Cube, which is an expansion of the work done by Chris Hardwick on the number of permutations of the n x n x n cube. I corresponded with him briefly about his formulas some years ago. I hope my discovery will be of interest to some of the members of the community, even if only in a minor way. I will post my findings in the Puzzle Theory section in a bit, I don't want to post it immediately after introducing myself. I hope my sharing of this discovery does not seem inappropriate, and I apologize in advance if this is the case. I was just hoping to share this, as I believe it might be of some value.
Anyway, I look forward to meeting you, and thank you for reading my introduction.
David
