I updated my Job Interview Advice page, in case anyone is interested. For the Fall 2009 semester I am teaching       MATH 235-01 Calculus III, MWF 1:00-1:50pm       MATH 375-01 Creative Problem Solving, MWF 11:00-11:50am       MAMT 550 Discrete Mathematics, MW 5:30-7:20pm       I'm also advising an independent study and a senior project. You know who you are! Please Email me if you have any questions about these courses!

Book news: My recent book is Project Origami: activities for exploring mathematics. (AK Peters website, cover, TOC) I'm currently working on another book, but it's going slowly... Talk news: I'll be presenting a talk titled You Gotta Know How to Fold 'Em at the Joint Meetings of the AMS/MAA, Jan. 5-8, 2009 in Washington, DC. It'll be part of the MAA Session on Mathematics of Games and Puzzles. My talk will be on Tuesday, Jan 6. at 4pm, the last one in the session. (But the whole session looks like it'll be good!) I'm also giving two invited talks in the coming Spring. I'll be giving a talk as part of the symposium "Mathematics of Origami: From the Joys of Recreation to the Frontiers of Research" which will be part of the AAAS Annual Meeting, February 12-16, 2009 in Chicago, IL. (The origami-math symposium will be on Saturday, Feb. 14.) I'm one of the invited speakers for the Spring 2009 Meeting of the Allegheny Mountain Section of the MAA. This takes place April 3-4, 2009 at Wheeling Jesuit University in Wheeling, WV. I'll be running a local Project NExT workshop on April 3 and giving my invited talk on April 4.

There are a lot of things on this site. As it's grown they've gotten all inter-mingled and some of the links go in circles. Below is a list of the main things here, but feel free to explore!

Origami-related Origami Math Pages LOTS of stuff there, including diagrams of models, tutorials, animations, a bibliography, and links. Check it out! Origami Model Gallery Every day is Halloween! Flapping Bat Action Model Origami CD Case PDF Diagrams, GIF Diagrams This has been a very popular model. Some folks at Michigan Engineering Software and Hardware put together a script that lets you type in song titles and will print them out onto paper that is ready to be folded into the case. It's at www.papercdcase.com Information on the APA imagiro Student-related WNEC Manhattan I use WNEC's Manhattan virtual classrom for all my WNEC classes. Go there to check out your grades, find assignments, send me messages, and such! Courses I've taught at WNEC: Fall 2009       MATH 133-05 & 07 Calculus I       MAMT 544 Creative Problem Solving in Mathematics Spring 2009       MATH 134-03 Calculus II       MATH 371 Modern Aspects of Geometry       MAMT 552 Geometry Revisited (for the Winter 11-week term) Here are some web pages of courses I've taught in the past (at Merrimack College): MA 114A Discrete Mathematics MA 219A Calculus III, Fall 06 MA 223A Topics in Geometry, Fall 00, Fall 06 MA 244A Combinatorics, MA 343A Intro to Real Analysis (Fall 99, Fall 01, Fall 03), MA 323A Combinatorial Geometry Mathematica Labs for Calc III. I developed these during a year I spent teaching at the University of Cincinnati. Math-related Curriculum vitae This isn't my official CV, and may need to be updated. If you want an official one, email me and I'll send you a PDF of the most recent version. Papers. (Like, research papers and preprints) Job interview advice HEY! I edited the proceedings of the 3rd International Meeting of Origami Science, Math, and Education (3OSME). Take a look at the table of contents.
