Personal

I was born on New Years Day, many years ago, the second of 10 children of the late Henry and Rita. I married my wife in 1986. We have two children, one a graduate of the Wharton School of Business, and the other a graduate of Emerson College. I also have a pretty good son-in-law and two granddaughters.

Mathematics

I am Professor of Mathematics at the University of Arkansas, Fayettevile. My research specialty is Complex Function Theory, but I have some work in other related areas of analysis. My Curriculum Vitae includes a list of publications.

In Spring 2024 I am teaching Math 3083 Linear Algebra and Math 3103 Combinatorics.
This is my last semester at the University of Arkansas.

Here are some preprints (most are available on the Math Archive (arxiv.org)).

You might want to check out my department's page.

TeX

I am more or less the Math Department's expert on TeX. See me (or write) if you need any help with TeX or LaTeX.

Folkdance

My wife and I are folk dancers, and are closely associated with most of the folkdance groups in Fayetteville. Read about them here, or follow links to other dance groups in the region. We helped to found the performance group Anoush. My wife runs the dances of the Fayetteville International Folk Dancers, and I help to run the Fayetteville Traditional Dance Society and its dances.

I write dances as a hobby (mostly contra dances and old-time circle mixer dances). Last time I counted there were around 385 of them, not counting a couple dozen that are adaptations/modernizations of existing dances. I make no claim as to their quality or suitability for their purpose (which, of course, is to be fun). I've written up all that exist as of (2024/04/08) in this PDF

I am also a member of the Country Dance and Song Society of America (CDSS). They are good people; support them by becoming a member.
