Photo Credit: Sarah Witherspoon News: Dr. Elise Walker, just graduated with her Ph.D. in Mathematics from Texas A&M. I had the pleasure of working with her. Samuel Sottile, my son and a Junior mathematics major at Michigan State University, was awarded a 2022 Goldwater Scholarship.

Letters of Recommendation I am willing to write letters for deserving candidates, but please read this before asking me for a letter. Eschew Elsevier!   Two new(er) lows: Elsevier is now suing authors, and Elsevier sues ETH Zürich for distributing articles. Join the Elsevier Boycott. Older reasons to avoid Elsevier. Elsevier has published fake Journals, more, and others that engage in unacceptable editorial practices. More details. See also Tim Gowers' blog and here is a link with more information.

I am one of the corresponding editors for the SIAM Journal on Applied Algebra and Geometry.   I am an Associate Editor for the American Mathematical Monthly. My terms as associate editor for the SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics, the Canadian Journal of Mathematics, and the Canadian Mathematical Bulletin, ended in December 2015. I am a former member of the American Institute of Mathematics open textbooks initiative editorial board, and a suporter of their work.
