I was going to write a business book – a career journal filled
with clever learnings, sage advice and world-changing missions
– but I was struggling, big time. By struggling, I mean I hated

Relationships matter. Ever since the dawn of time, when caveman Fred asked caveman Barney whether there was any work down at the quarry, human beings have always networked. We’re social creatures who like to reach out and talk to someone. As the Internet developed and grew in popularity, people rapidly took advantage of this new...
This book is one of a series written by professional mathematicians in order to make some important mathematical ideas interesting and understandable to a large audience of high school students and laymen. Most of the volumes in the New Mathematical Library cover topics not usually included in the high school curriculum; they vary in difficulty,...
The purpose of this reviewarticle is to serve as an introduction and at the same time, as an invitation to the theory of towers of function fields over finite fields. More specifically, we treat here the case of explicit towers; i.e., towers where the function fields are given by explicit equations. The asymptotic behaviour of the genus and of the...

This text is intended for a one-semester introductory course in computer
science. It presents a breadth-first overview of the discipline that assumes no
prior background in computer science, programming, or mathematics. It is
appropriate for use in a service course for students not majoring in computer
science. It is also appropriate...
As future generation information technology (FGIT) becomes specialized and fragmented, it is easy to lose sight that many topics in FGIT have common threads and, because of this, advances in one discipline may be transmitted to others. Presentation of recent results obtained in different disciplines encourages this interchange for the...
