Click above for information on undergraduate mathematics
competitions at LSU, including the Putnam Competition and Virginia Tech Regional
Math Contest. Here you can find important dates, information about the
Problem-Solving Seminar (held Wednesday evenings each Fall semester),
large collections of sample practice problems (more than 700 in all!), and
other resources, as well as LSU's historical
performance. Students can earn credit for the Problem-Solving Seminar by
enrolling in MATH 3903 (2 Credit Hours, Pass/Fail).

Advising and Students
My research has included projects in Partitions, Basic
Hypergeometric Series, Modular Forms, Number Theory, Combinatorics,
and Probability. For prospective students who might be interested in working
with me, one of the best ways to prepare is to review the material (including
the lengthy collections of homework problems) from the Graduate Topics Courses
that I have previously taught:
