Photo Credit: Sarah Witherspoon News: Samuel Sottile, my son and a Senior mathematics major at Michigan State University, was awarded a 2023–4 Churchill Scholarship. View the press release from MSU. I was a Churchill Scholar in 1985–6; Sam is the first Second-Generation Churchill Scholar. Dr. Thomas Yahl just graduated with his Ph.D. in Mathematics from Texas A&M. He is starting a van Vleck Assistant Professorship (a prestigious postdoc) at the University of Wisconsin in Madison.

Feel free to come and talk with me, look at the resources on these pages, including this information page. Research Interests: Numerical algebraic geometry, applications of algebraic geometry, algebraic geometry in spectral theory, real algebraic geometry, algebraic combinatorics, Hopf Algebras, Discrete and Computational Geometry, tropical geometry. 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.
