Courses

I will not be teaching in the Spring semester 2008.

Courses that I have taught at Cornell.

Research and Macaulay2

My research interests include computational algebraic geometry and commutative algebra. My applied interests include applications to statistics and biology.

My plan is to have pdf copies of all of my papers available here. At the moment, this has not happened.

• Curriculum vitae
• Publications
• PDF copies of papers and preprints (not yet functional)
• Macaulay 2, which I have written with Dan Grayson, is a computer program designed to support computations in algebraic geometry and computer algebra
• Macaulay, an earlier computer algebra system for computations in algebraic geometry and commutative algebra, written with Dave Bayer

Journal: Mathematics of Computation

I am an associate editor for Mathematics of Computation. Submissions of papers is handled online via this website.

Journal overview: This journal is devoted to research articles of the highest quality in computational mathematics. Areas covered include numerical analysis, computational discrete mathematics, including number theory, algebra and combinatorics, and related fields such as stochastic numerical methods. Articles must be of significant computational interest and contain original and substantial mathematical analysis or development of computational methodology. Reviews of books in areas related to computational mathematics are also included.

Conferences and special years

Some upcoming conferences of interest:

• First Macaulay2 conference, March 16-19, 2008, Ithaca, NY.
• Computational Algebra and Convexity, June 21-27, 2008, Snowbird, Utah.
• A Macaulay2 workshop, June 28-July 3, 2008, Snowbird, Utah
