• The 40th Almgren "Mayday" Race was held on Sunday May 3, 2015. Two teams tied for the victory, by crossing the finish line with linked hands: Rutgers Math and Rutgers Physics.
A fun addition to this year's race was the Slowly converging Zombie team, which chased some of the runners and ate some information. The next race will be on May 6, 2016, from Princeton to Rutgers.

Definition: Proofiness is defined as "the art of using bogus mathematical arguments to prove something that you know in your heart is true — even when it's not." -Charles Seife

Research papers & stuff: This is a link to some of my research papers. Here are my research interests and my Ph.D. Students.

Do you like the History of Mathematics? Here are some articles:
I am often busy editing the Journal of Pure and Applied Algebra (JPAA), the Annals of K-theory and the journals HHA and JHRS.

Note: The Journal of K-theory ceased publication in December 2014.

Mersenne primes are the largest primes we know. By 2014, the list of the first 44 Mersenne primes was verified; we don't know what is the 45th smallest, even though a handful of larger Mersenne primes are known. For years, the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) offered a $50,000 prize for the first known prime with over 10 million digits. The race to win this prize came down the wire in Summer 2008, as the 45th and 46th known Mersenne primes were discovered in within 2 weeks of each other by the UCLA Math Department (who won the prize) and an Electrical Engineer in Germany, respectively. The largest known Mersenne prime is the 48th, which has 17 million digits and p=57,885,161; the 45th has 13 million digits and p=43,112,609. (Each prime N=2p-1 has p log10(2) digits.)
