Teaching

From 1978 to 2023 I taught a great range of courses. One early example, while I was still a graduate student, was a complex analysis class for Navy lieutenants. It is hard to imagine a more motivated cohort. The most unusual courses were the First-Year Seminars in 2013 and 2017. After the first of these I wrote a reflection which, while now dated, is a snaphot of life in the University at the time.


Graduate Students

In all, I supervised three PhD students at the University of Washington and twenty-one students at Northwestern. A list can be found at this Math Geneaology entry.
