Most of my courses no longer have home pages; information about assignments, etc., can be found on Latte.
| Math 221b Spring '16: Instanton Floer Theory | Unofficial home page; official page is the course LATTE page, which requires a Brandeis login. | Courses from previous years | Home pages |
| Math 221b Spring '12: Foliations and contact structures | Syllabus |
| Math 221b Spring '10: Heegaard-Floer theory | Syllabus, Heegaard-Floer flow chart |
My Calendar Boston Topology Seminars Calendar
Rubermania! (and the other rubermania)
So you want me to write a recommendation ...
Will you accept me as your student....?
I co-organize (with Carolyn Abbott, Ruth Charney and Kiyoshi Igusa) the Topology Seminar, which is also listed on the Boston Topology Seminars Calendar. Along with Catherine Broderick, I am the webmaster for the Math Department web page. .
Here is my mathematical ancestry, courtesy of the Mathematics Genealogy Project, now run at North Dakota State University.
