• My contact information.
• Math-related pages:
  • Useful math links.
  • An annotated bibliography of all of my math papers, with links to electronic versions.
  • A small collection of slides of talks I have given.
• A page of miscellaneous links.
• A description of the problems (now fixed) with “Let's Do Lunch”, the most recent puzzler from Coudal Partners.
• A site devoted to keeping track of the most current results about the maximum number of rational points on a genus-g curve over F_q: manypoints.org. The site has only just opened, and there are a lot of results still to be entered in the database, especially for the best known upper bounds on these numbers.
• New! The Nearly Anacrophonic Phonetic Alphabet — NAPA for short — provides a better way of making it clear what letter of the alphabet you're talking about. The standard NATO phonetic alphabet (alfa for A, bravo for B, and so on) completely ignores the basic principle of anacrophony. The NAPA uses it as much as possible. Now when I spell out my name over the phone to a customer service agent I say “H as in heir, O as in oneing, W as in wrest, E as in ewe.”
