GENERAL INFORMATION
You can
contact me
in several ways.
There is a page with
general
MathDept information.
Note that there is help available if you have
difficulties
browsing or printing
my webpages.
Past conferences at UFMath that I have helped organize:
- Midwest Dynamical Systems Meeting during 9-12 March
2000.
- An AMS Conference.
in March of 1999.
(Here is a partial list of (quite ancient)
talks/seminars
that I have given.)
Teaching
My
Teaching Page,
has links
my schedule and
to
my current courses,
as well as a wealth of material
(exams, pamphlets) from
previous classes.
For
letters of recommendation
,
there is required information.
Articles
Below is a sampling of my articles; most are compressed and -unless
mentioned otherwise- are in postscript.
An almost complete list of my
papers is available, along with several preprints.
Many of the articles have
abstracts.
In addition, if your site subscribes to
Mathematical Reviews, then you can read MR reviews of
some of my articles
electronically.
Miscellany/Interests
-
Contradancing and
contradance calling.
Available are my
most recent contradance programs
as well as the
earliest numbered program.
- I do ECD (English Country Dance)
and a bit of Israeli Folkdancing (and occasionally others)
and some ballroom dancing (e.g East-coast swing, Rumba).
- Ελευσις:
The creative, social, somewhat
mathematical game called Eleusis.
My Honors Calculus students at Berkeley taught me this game;
I now teach it to many of my students.
The simple
rules of Eleusis (pdf)
often lead to surprising patterns.
(Eleusis is played with cards, but it is not a
card game
in
the traditional sense.)

Chess patzer:
♚♝♞♜
With a high-school friend, Paul Lewis, founded our high-school's chess
club, probably in 1972. We competed occasionally with nearby
high-schools, and were soundly trounced, as they had had clubs for years.
Some 38 years went by without my much touching a chessboard, but now
both my kids play, so I have taken it up again.
Primarily, I play at the
Free Internet Chess Server (FICS);
reference
FICS Directory.
Games are stored at the
FICS Games Database.
Do folks know that there is a
UF chess club?
–there is indeed. And with its own
GCC group
and FB.

Misc. resources:
♔♗♘♖
- I used to juggle
(mostly club-passing)
and unicycle a bit.
Before I entered a 2-dimensional State, I did some mild
rock climbing, particularly at
The Gunks
in downstate New York. Alas, those days are gone
for me now (and so are the muscles…).
- GNV has an active Pickleball group.
Tidbits
The Mathematics Genealogy Project
gives trees of Ph.D advisors.
May 1, 1994 was a happy day for me -the day I married my financée
Erin. She then asked me to
teach her how to ride unicycle.
By the way, I would like to give
credit
to the web sites which provided some of the images on my webpages.
