An interesting statement on academic expectations , aimed at incoming freshmen.
Major Academic Interests
- Teaching: Abstract algebra, number theory, topology, linear algebra, semigroup theory, combinatorial group theory and of course good old calculus. For details go to Classes taught
- Research: Algebraic theory of semigroups; currently particularly interested in lattices associated with inverse semigroups.
