About this site
This is a collection of papers, presentation materials, and software: mostly mathematical, and mostly from my 2005-2010 PhD years in the University of Arizona Department of Mathematics ... although some new content does trickle in from time to time. :)
Image credit for the clock layer of the background image is here. The formula/code/graph layers are my own, from various parts of this site.
