Current
Teaching
Fall
2019:
- MATH 7230 –
Class Field Theory.
- MATH 4345 - Special Functions. This course will be administered
online through LSU's Moodle system. Syllabus
- MATH 3903 - Methods
of Problem Solving.
See Curriculum Vitae
page for archived teaching.
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 practice problems (more than 900 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).
MATH 3903 was also held in a different format in Spring
2018, with the goal of students gaining research experience through submitting
and publishing solutions to problems in mathematics journals. See the course webpage for 3 published submissions from LSU undergraduates.

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 in-depth homework problems) from the Graduate Topics
Courses that I have previously taught:
