I'm an Associate Professor here at the Department of Mathematics of the University of Tennessee Knoxville. My area is Algebraic Number Theory.

Here is an old picture of me. But be warned, after you see it, you can't unsee it!

Notes for the Project GRAD Summer Institute 2009: ``A Gentle Introduction to Number Theory and Cryptography''.

Here is a spreadsheet (Open Document format, MS Excel format) that can be used to computed interest, final value with interest and payments, calculate value of payments, and how long to pay off or save a specific value. You will need to read the instructions to use it.

 

My On-line Feedback Form, in which you can give me anonymous feedback for past and current course.

There is no such thing as blank and total darkness
There's no such night that's cold and solely starless

Before we know, the story goes
In ways we never have thought of, in wonder ways

And so we speak, in gardens green,
We walk the bright hills of summer in Evermore

Into the sun, where dreamers run
we fight for freedom, sunlight and all time brights

The way we've grown, the seeds we've sown
Today we're almost as high as we sail the sky


And so we dream, in gardens green,
We walk the bright hills of summer in Evermore

In Love we trust, we're home at last
To hear the sweet songs of Angels in Everlast

This dream is real, the Final Deal
It's more than we asked for, in evermore, evermore...



``The Final Deal'' by the Flower Kings (music and lyrics by Roine Stolt),
from the album Flower Power (1999).
