In Preparation

  • Polynomial Pick forms for affine spheres and polygons in RP2 (with Michael Wolf).
  • Experiments with skinning maps (with Richard Kent).
  • Mathematical Images

    Links go to gallery pages, most of which contain some explanation of the mathematical background:

    Slides from past talks

    Titles link to HTML slideshows; PDF also available.

    Note: These are old lectures. I now prefer to use chalkboards for my presentations.
