Teaching Spring 2017:

- MTH 462/562: syllabus and course plan. (For office hours, see syllabus.)
   PLEASE NOTE: Due to the closure in Winter, we follow the course plan with approximately 1 week delay.

IMPORTANT 1: All answers on home works and exams must be justified, even if that is not evident from
                            the phrasing of the question. Answers without justification will receive partial credit at best.
IMPORTANT 2: Before turning in exams or HW's, write your first plus last name in the top right corner
                              of each sheet you turn in (even if you staple them together)!

                               ASSIGNMENTS:
                                 Tues Apr 11: 5.1: 1, 4, 7, 9, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 20, 22. (Probl 25 is very interesting, but not required.)

                                                                                                has 1/2( (sum ni)^2 - (sum ni^2) ) edges.
                                 Tues Apr 25: 5.3: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 11, 12, plus: Show that chi(G+H;k)=chi(G;k).chi(H;k).
                                 Tues May 02: 6.1: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 10, 25, 29, 30.

                                                                                                              44 (hint: use THM 5.1.21).

General Announcement for Students:

In most of my classes you will be either strongly encouraged,
or even obliged to turn in your HW in *.pdf format based on LATEX.
Here is a website where LATEX is explained:

Student Research Projects:

I have many research projects, Most are intended for 501 theses or PhD level projects.
If you are interested in doing a research project in:
Dynamical Systems, Social and Economic Networks, Coherent Motion of Flocks, Topology/Geometry,
Fractal Geometry, Discrete Mathematics, Mathematical Physics, or others, please talk to me.
