Hi, welcome to my homepage.

I am a faculty member in the math department at Wake Forest. I went to graduate school at UC San Diego (see beach above). Below you see a picture of my calculus class doing some knot theory.

Here are some links.

VENICE! Click here for the information and application for my trip to Venice in Fall 05!.

Click here for the collected solutions for topology thanks to caltech!.

Click here for the slides from my talk at elon in pdf format.

Here is a collection of links for the 2003 MAA knot theory workshop. held at Wake.

Here is the picture of two triangulations of the sphere for the math 107 homework.

Here is the picture for the next homework project for 107 (2/20/03).

Click here for the 7 32 Syllabus.

Click here for a preview of Math 107 for Spring 2003!

Here you will find power point demonstrations created by members of my freshman seminar to explain concepts in knot theory.

If you are interested in topology, or just have a lot of time on your hands with nothing to do, here are some of my papers.

Justin Roberts has written up the notes from one of his courses on knot thoery. Click here for Justin's Knots Knotes.

Here is a link to a number of homepages of topologists, students, and friends.

A good web sight for those interested in calculus is Calculus.org.

A good reference for those who want to create their own web page is: The Beginner's guide to HTML.

I am quite happy to have The Washington Post available over the web. Now in addition to world news, you can get the latest news on The Redskins , or in this time of free agency, you can find out who is really playing for your team this year!

Looking for topology on the web? Here are a couple sights. The Topology Atlas, or Mark Brittenham's great homepage .

If you are looking for topology papers on the web, you can find many great papers at The UC Davis Math Front End .

You can check out your mathematical family tree (or someone else's) thanks to the mathematics genealogy project at MSU.

You may want to visit one of the following UN sponsored web sights to donate assistance to the needy. There is no cost to you (other than 10 seconds of your time) and with the click of a button you can help feed the hungry , save the rainforests, provide medicine to kids with aids, provide vitamins to children in need, fight breast cancer, or help victims of landmines. thanks to a project run by the UN. (There is no cost to you and it is not a scam, the advertisers pay for the food).

Snappea is a fantastic program for knot theory.

Looking for an old friend? Try this people search.

MathSciNet is an invaluable search tool for a mathematician (but your school needs to subscribe to access it).

Look here for a pair of claspers connected to yield the untangle.

Here is an interesting 15 component link.

You can also check out the UCSD Math Home Page.

Below is a clip that gives a good trick by which to remember the second derivative rule!
