Michael Lee Develin (born August 27, 1980) is an American mathematician known for his work in combinatorics and discrete geometry.
He attended Stuyvesant High School, where he was captain of the math team,[1] and entered Harvard University at the age of 16.
[3] He studied under advisor Bernd Sturmfels at UC-Berkeley, and has been noted for work on Stanley's reciprocity theorem and tight spans.
Develin organized and maintains SimBase, a simulated baseball league with fictitious players, whose inaugural members also included Jeopardy!
[10][11] Develin occasionally set up a "free advice" table near the San Francisco Ferry Building.
