Back in the Bronx after a fabulous leave during which I spent time at the Tata Institute in Mumbai, the Universidy of Sydney, and the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute in Berkeley with shorter visits to Sogang University (the Jesuit University of Seoul) and the École Polytechnique outside Paris.
This fall I will be sticking close to home, mainly polishing the text for MathForLife, an online one semester terminal course for undergraduates majoring in the humanities, social sciences and business, and preparing an NSF Grant application with a small consortium of collaborators requesting funding to add complementary interactive elements to the course. which takes a new approach both to what is covered and to how it is presented. To learn more about this project and see a sample chapter, go to my MathForLife page. I also keep a a current draft of the full text (warning this a 9Mb pdf file) posted at my publisher's site.
However, I will be in Seoul again in December at the American co-organizer of a Special Session in Algebraic Geometry at an International Joint Meeting of the American and Korean mathematical Societies (with James McKernan of MIT and Yongnam Lee of Sogang). I am also currently editing (with Gavril Farkas of Humboldt University in Berlin) a Handbook of Moduli scheduled to appear in late 2010, and will be increasingly busy with this project in the new year.
I will be continuing an ongoing research project with David Swinarski on applying symbolic computational method to get infromation on moduli spaces of stable curves and stability of Hilbert points of such curves. You can find a more discussion on my publications and research interests pages.
My coordinates page lists various ways of contacting me when I am in New York and my schedule page gives details of when and where I teach, hold office hours and serve on University committees.
