MY MUG ANOTHER MUG

Zounds! At last we have photographs!


What I Do

Combinatorics and Algebra, preferably both at the same time. Want more detail? Read my Research Profile, a document I maintain for prospective graduate students.

Can you name these giants of the field?

I maintain an archive of my recent papers. It should be fairly easy to find what you are looking for. Also available is my publication list.

New! Check out my new archive of other papers (i.e., papers not intended for publication).

Students: Look here for information related to Math 425 (Fall '07).


Maple Packages

I'm the author of a collection of Maple packages for symmetric functions, posets, root systems, and finite Coxeter groups.

New!The packages now have their own Home Page! Use this site as the official source for all information about SF, posets, and coxeter/weyl.

Here's a nifty example that was created with the posets and coxeter packages.

By popular demand, I also have created an archive of Research Data And Other Useful Stuff. To whet your appetite, here's a sample of the cool stuff you can find there:

A3

The hyperplane arrangement corresponding to the root system A3.


Eastward Ho!

The home of the UM Mathematics Department is the newly renovated East Hall, located at 525 East University Ave. This is the E-shaped building on this map of Central Campus.

The upper floors of East Hall have a nice view, and there are a number of convenient hangouts close by. For example, you'll frequently find the faculty and graduate students here . (Note the view of East Hall, prior to renovation, looming in the background.)


New!The Lighter Side

Yes I do have a lighter side, rumors to the contrary notwithstanding.
