My teaching plans.

In Fall 2023 I am teaching:

MATH 303 - Introduction to Number Theory and Cryptology. We will be using a textbook entitled, "A Friendly Introduction to Number Theory, 4th Edition, by Joseph H. Silverman." This course will develop basic concepts in number theory and investigate applications to the exciting field of secure communications and cryptosystems. If you have questions, you may contact me by e-mail. I check my mail regularly, so this is an excellent way to reach me, and I am always happy to hear from you. The details can be found on Canvas.

MATH 324 - Complex Analysis. MATH 324 is a one-semester, three credit-hour course in functions of one complex variable. Topics to be covered include: complex numbers and their properties; analytic functions of a complex variable, described in four ways -- through the Cauchy-Riemann equations, complex differentiation, complex integration, and power series; elementary functions; contour integrals; Taylor and Laurent series; singularities and residues. As time permits, we will touch on conformal mapping. We will use the textbook, "Fundamentals of Complex Analysis with Applications to Engineering and Science", Third Edition, by E.B. Saff and A.D. Snider. If you have questions, you may contact me by e-mail. I check my mail regularly, so this is an excellent way to reach me, and I am always happy to hear from you.

In Spring 2024 I am teaching:

MATH 361-Geometry is a one-semester, three credit-hour course in geometry. We will be using a textbook entitled, "Numbers and Geometry," by John Stillwell.The prerequisite for the course in MATH 122 or its equivalent. This course satisfies the SAGES department seminar requirement.

MATH 408 - Mathematical Cryptology. We will use the textbook, "An Introduction to Mathematical Cryptography, 2nd Edition 2014", by Jeffrey Hoffstein, Jill Pipher, and Joseph Silverman. We will also use references available over the internet: in particular, the Handbook of Applied Cryptography by Alfred J. Menezes, Paul C. van Oorschot and Scott A. Vanstone. If you have questions, you may contact me by e-mail. I check my mail regularly, so this is an excellent way to reach me, and I am always happy to hear from you.
