Will compute homology for food.

Teaching

Courses
- Math 113, Introduction to Abstract Algebra, Fall 2009. Details will be posted here at the beginning of the semester.
- Past courses.
Lecture notes (Please use freely.)
- Taubes's proof of the Weinstein conjecture in dimension three (revised June 2009, pdf, 52 pages). These are notes for a talk which I gave at the AMS Current Events Bulletin in January 2009.
- Lecture notes on Morse homology (with an eye towards Floer theory and pseudoholomorphic curves), Fall 2002 (postscript, 63 pages). Despite the mistakes in these notes, some people have found them useful as an introduction, so I will keep them up here while hoping to revise them sometime.
- A very basic introduction to mathematical proofs (pdf, 27 pages). These notes are rather ancient, but maybe still helpful.
