reetings!I am an Associate Professor of Mathematics at the University of Kentucky. |
I am a member of the Discrete Mathematics group in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Kentucky.
Richard Ehrenborg and I are the founders and organizers of the Math Movie of the Month.
During the academic year 2006-2007, I was on sabbatical leave at MIT.
My research interests are in algebraic combinatorics and discrete geometry.
Arthur F. Readdy, Jr. (March 4, 1928 - March 2, 2008)
I am the organizer of the Discrete CATS Seminar (where CATS = Combinatorics Algebra Topology and Statistics!) This was formerly the University of Kentucky Algebraic Combinatorics Seminar.
I am also a co-organizer of the UK WILDCATS Seminar.
In February 2009 I will be giving a seminar talk in the University of Washington Combinatorics Seminar.
I am the faculty advisor for the 2009 Graduate Student Combinatorics Conference (GSCC 2009). The keynote speaker is Richard Stanley (MIT). The GSCC 2009 will be held at the University of Kentucky March 27-29, 2009.
Talk in the special session Geometric Combinatorics at the AMS Fall Central Section Meeting being held at DePaul University (Chicago, IL) October 5-6, 2007.
Carla Savage, along with Nicholas Loehr, Gabor Pataki, Ruriko Yoshida and myself, are organizing the special session Combinatorial Enumeration, Optimization, Geometry, and Statistics AMS Fall Southeastern Sectional meeting being held at Middle Tennessee State University (Murfreesboro, TN) November 3-4, 2007. Carla Savage will be giving the invited address, The mathematics of lecture hall partitions.
Talk in the special session Combinatorial Representation Theory, Topological Combinatorics, and Interactions Between Them at the AMS Spring Central Section Meeting being held at Indiana University (Bloomington, IN) April 5-6, 2007.Colloquium talk at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte April 18, 2008.
I am attending Festive Combinatorics, Symposium in honor of Anders Björner's 60th Birthday. Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), Stockholm, Sweden. (May 28-30, 2008)
I will be giving a talk at
the Billerafest,
a conference in honor
of Louis Billera's 65th Birthday
at
Cornell University
June 13-15, 2008.
My second son Thomas was born June 23, 2005
weighing 8 pounds 15 ounces and measuring
21 1/4 inches long. Thomas' mathematical connection
is that he has the same birthday
as
Richard Stanley.
Here is a recent picture of Thomas and Theodore.
See what my family looked like on Inauguration Day and what the Lexington Herald Leader wrote.
Keynote speaker at the Graduate Student Combinatorics Conference, University of Minnesota. (April 16-17, 2005)
Visited Mittag-Leffler as part of the Spring 2005 program in Algebraic Combinatorics.
My first son Theodore was born May 23, 2001 weighing 8 pounds and measuring 21 inches long. (Both Fibonacci numbers!) Photos
This semester I am teaching Math 114 Calculus II and Math 614 Enumerative Combinatorics.
I am also the Course Czar for Calculus II the academic year 2008-09.
Here is a list of my REU students.
My student Michael Levin, a 2001 graduate from Harvard, won Honorable Mention for the 2001 Morgan Prize.
