I am a graduate student here at Stony Brook. I am currently preparing for my orals, which will cover topics in Riemannian Geometry and General Relativity.

Here is an interesting link, if you want to do graph theory in LaTeX.

Office Hours for Summer I 2009: (Feel free to drop by!)

Tuesday 12:30pm-1:30pm
Thursday 5:00pm-6:00pm
You can also find me in the MLC MW 10:00am-1:00pm and TR 10:00am-12:00pm. (For all you new students, R is the abbreviation for 'Thursday'). MLC is referring to the Math Learning Center

Teaching

2009
Summer I: MAT 118: Mathematical Thinking

Spring:
MAT 203: Multivariable Calculus with Applications (Teaching assistant for both recitations).
HON 113: Honors Topics I designed and taught a one credit seminar class aimed at honors freshman and sophomores. Roughly half of the semester was spent proving a version of Goedel's first incompleteness theorem, and the other half provided introductions to various mathematical topics, such as special relativity, non-euclidean geometry, and the Riemann zeta function. Here is the syllabus.
2008
Spring:
MAT141: Honors Calculus II (Teaching Assistant)
MAT118: Mathematical Thinking (Teaching Assistant)
Summer: I taught a Calculus course for CSTEP.
MAT132: Integral Calculus: (grader)
Fall: MAT319: Introduction to Analysis (Teaching Assistant and grader)
2007
Fall:
MAT141: Honors Calculus I (Teaching Assistant)

If I were a Springer-Verlag Graduate Text in Mathematics, I would be Frank Warner's Foundations of Differentiable Manifolds and Lie Groups.

I give a clear, detailed, and careful development of the basic facts on manifold theory and Lie Groups. I include differentiable manifolds, tensors and differentiable forms. Lie groups and homogenous spaces, integration on manifolds, and in addition provide a proof of the de Rham theorem via sheaf cohomology theory, and develop the local theory of elliptic operators culminating in a proof of the Hodge theorem. Those interested in any of the diverse areas of mathematics requiring the notion of a differentiable manifold will find me extremely useful.
