Teaching

In Fall 2009 I will be teaching the following courses:

MTH 281 Multivariable Calculus. The textbook for this course is Calculus: Concepts & Connections, by Smith and Minton.

MTH 333 Geometry. The textbook for the course is The Four Pillars of Geometry, by John Stillwell.

All of these courses will have web pages available through CSU's eLearning site.

Resources for CSU students

Research Interests

Combining ideas from algebraic topology and geometric statistics to study large, high-dimensional data sets
Developing a directed version of homotopy theory for the study of concurrent (parallel) computing
Homotopy theory, differential graded algebras, differential graded Lie algebras, toric topology, quasi-categories
