Archive of Academic Work

This is a collection of some of the academic writing that I have completed over the course of my life, dating back to my first semester as an undergraduate at Marietta College in Marietta, OH. It includes essays that I wrote as an undergraduate, papers that I have written, and slideshows from presentations that I have given. Some resume information and a collection of other mathematical work that I have completed for no particular reason, including a listing of mathematics textbooks that I have found or am presently finding useful, is also provided below.

Warning: I explicitly forbid anyone who comes into contact with my work from plagiarising, copying from, or otherwise presenting as his or her own work what is in fact my work. That being said, if you wish to make use of any of my work in creating something of your own, that is perfectly fine. Please feel free. All you need to do is cite whatever you are using as you would any other source.

Disclaimer: I have used many other sources in creating the material provided below. Each document should include a bibliography that gives the authors of the books and other material that I used credit for their work. If one of my documents does not properly cite its sources, please let me know so that I can correct the problem.
