Teaching
Canada/USA Mathcamp I have taught the Banach Tarski paradox, Dehn invariants, the Scissors Congruence Problem, Disrete Fourier Transforms, and various pieces of hyperbolic geometry and geometric group theory (such as a class on SL(2,Z).) At Mathcamp 2010, Ilya Grigoriev and I organized a viewing of Not Knot interspersed with a Q & A about the math. The film is visually beautiful, but can be frustrating to watch without a friend with whom to delve into the mathematics. It was great fun to examine the film with enthusiastic students and a fellow geometer.
