Jeremy Chapman is one of several of my students who was born and raised in Missouri. Jeremy was a big time athlete in high school and college and was probably only held back from a career in professional sports by a very serious injury. Jeremy is an avid hunter. The venison he brought me on a couple of occasions was absolutely spectacular and his description of bow and arrow hunting was interesting and captivating.

Jeremy Chapman became my student at a time when the develop of a variety of consequences of my paper with Misha Rudnev on the Falconer problem in vector spaces over finite fields was in full swing. The first part of his thesis was a sum product problem for two by two matrices over finite fields. This problem and its higher dimensional analogs fascinate me to this day. In the late 2023 Jeremy and I started doing mathematics again and the topic that we chose was an analog of the Erdos Integer Distance Principle in vector spaces over finite fields.
