Silverman

Reading Course

This summer I am participating in a reading course with Paul Munger. Our supervisor will be Dr. Anthony Varilly-Alvarado. The text will be Silverman's The Arithmetic of Elliptic Curves.

Fall 2009-Spring 2010

My first year at rice I participated in standard coursework. These courses are designed to prepare students to pass qualifying examinations in Algebra, Topology, and Analysis. (Fellow Rice Grads: The TeXed notebooks below are extremely incomplete. Typing proved to be a waste of time for me. I have analogue notebooks that I am happy to share. If you get the TeXing bug and want to continue where I left off, I will gladly email you the source code.)
