Personal Information

I have a PS version of my Vita.
I have more personal information in another page.

Mathematical Links

A link to my publications and preprints. Comments welcome!
There is a list of faculty in the Berkeley Math Department, and a list of grad students, alumni, and others with homepages.
I have a link to the Math Department at Berkeley.
You can now check out the Springer Verlag homepage
I have a link to my research.
The Front for the XXX Mathematics Archive at UC Davis. It is an archive for mathematical preprints.
And I also have a collection of funny quotes by Prof. Hendrik Lenstra

Non-Mathematical Links

Every living person should read Dilbert!
If you watch Babylon 5, you should check out the Lurker's Guide to Babylon 5.
Browse in The Admiral's Jumpgate maintained by Michael `The Admiral' Zecca.
Check out my very own Dalek School of Surveillance.
Use the Internet Movie Database to figure out where you've seen that actor before.
And just to show I'm not an uncultured git, here's a link to The Complete Works of William Shakespeare.

Atheist Links

I read and participate in talk.atheism and alt.atheism. I have a link to the Atheism FAQ Web. It is a very well written document, and many find the Construction of a Logical Argument FAQ particularly useful.

One of my main claims to fame in a.a and t.a was the writing of the second installment of the Red Iguana saga. The saga so far includes:

Note: Some of the following links are currently inoperative.
Red Iguana Dawn by Stacy Prowell. The one which started it all! Also available in text version.
Red Iguana Interlude, by Hans Dykstra. The connecting story between Dawn and Noon. (Also available in text version)
Red Iguana Noon: The Wrath of Knowledgius, by Arturo Magidin. (Also available in text version)
Red Iguana Sunset:An Iguana for All Seasons, Stacy Prowell's great unfinished satire. (Also available in text version)
Red Iguana Evening: An Elseworlds Iguana Story, by Steve Keppel-Jones, the alternate universe follow-up to Noon. Still under production. (Also available in text version)
If you have trouble understanding Publius', you should check out The Publius Dictionary, courtesy of Steve Keppel-Jones. (Currently available only in text version)
And don't miss out on the wisdom of the Red Iguana himself, Publius! This can be seen through the Publius FAQ. NOTE: Almost all links and addressed mentioned in the FAQ are out of date.
It's back! Stacy Prowell's World of Publius is back on line. Contains more on the Publius phenomenon.

I also have some other links to funny posts and satire:

Dan Johnson's magnum opus, Storming the Pearly Gates. Also available in text format.
Two song satires from My Fair Lady "Why can't the Fundies" by The Doge of South St. Louis; and "If I Ever Let a Fundie Into A.A", by me.

Finally, I have created a page that contains the Committee of the Index's Corrections to Copernicus' work.

People

And finally, I thought I would put pointers to some people I know.

One of my few friends in Berkeley with a homepage is Lara Crawford.
David McKinnon is now a professor at Tufts University.

I graduated in May 1998, and I am now a professor at the Instituto de Matematicas de la UNAM, in Mexico. I can still be reached through my e-mail in Berkeley.
