In Fall 2009 I am teaching Math 111A.

Next quarter I am teaching Math 111B and 232B. Here is the policy on how to crash a math class.

I recently gave my first "beamer talk". Here is the latex file in case you want to learn beamer from a complete novice, for some reason. Here is the resulting pdf file in case you want to learn about representations of braid groups, for some reason.

You might want to look at:

• me,
• my cv (in postscript, sporadically updated),
• papers I have written,
• people I know,
• braid groups for non-experts,
• rubik's cubes for experts,
• strawberries.

Occasionally I am inspired to learn about a new programming language, write one program in it, and then never use it again. I have:

• a low-res bichromatic graphical design module, written in Java,
• a simple matrix operations demo, written in Python,
• a text adventure game, written in Inform. (You need a Z-Machine interpreter to play it. I use Frotz.)
