Talks
Here is some material used in talks I have given. These are either in the form of slides or notes or a video of the talk.
Be careful of mistakes: when converting results into a conversational form or providing motivation, mistakes are easily introduced.

Notes
- The Caldero–Chapoton formula for
cluster algebras (10 pages) — My final paper for 18.735 (quivers in
representation theory). It proves the Caldero–Chapoton formula for
writing down cluster variables in coefficient-free finite type cluster algebras
using Euler characteristics of quiver Grassmannians. Last updated 5/1/09.
- Computing syzygies with Gröbner bases
(6 pages) — My report for my presentation for the University of Utah
REU on computational algebraic geometry. Last updated 7/2/08.
