Programs I have written

Cube Diagram Calculator (with Adam Lowrance)
Louisiana State University, 2009

• A Mathematica procedure for visualizing and computing invariants for cube knots, a new way to represent knots in R^3.
  
  
• Available at

Braid Manipulator.
Michigan State University, 1999.

• A Mathematica procedure for calculating the multivariable Alexander polynomial of a link, presented as a braid on n strings. This program was based upon a Maple program by H.R.Morton and Julian Hodgson, Liverpool University, January 1996.

• The drawing procedures were written by Joe Christy.

• Download this program: braids.nb. Load into Mathematica and review the commands at the top of the file.

Programs just for fun

Present!
Focus Software, 1987

This is a "cute" 80's DOS-based program which I wrote as a practical joke. I had a tenth grade programming teacher who was very strict about his computers. To dishevel him, I wrote a program which mimics the command line BASIC programs of the past. It looked like BASIC, it smelled like BASIC, but with one key difference. When you ran a simple program it reported an error where there was clearly no error. To make matters worse, the students installed the "fake" basic programming language on all of the computers in the classroom. I took our teacher from computer to computer showing the error was occurring on ALL of the  machines. It completely fooled him, he thought that the computers were breaking down, and before I could stop him he had left the room to call the computer company and tell the principal about the situation. On his return, I let him in on the practical joke. I guess I should have gotten into a lot of trouble, but he was more relieved that it was a joke than an actual disaster. Instead of punishing me, he motivated me to write the GBM program above. I will always be grateful I had him as a teacher. By the way, the program that fooled him is called "error.pre" and you can see it by typing LOAD "ERROR.PRE" at the prompt and then typing LIST. To run the program, type RUN. After fooling him, I tried to turn the program into a presentation maker (like Power Point). But as a presentation maker, it is terrible compared to what is out there now. It just has an interesting history which Power Point could never have.
