Research Work

You can find my research papers indexed by a full list (including supplemental software) or classified (with overlaps) by theme. The latter description contains a bit of peripheral discussion as to what my papers are about.
Extremal Real Algebraic Geometry!
Find out more about the Smalefest 2000 proceedings volume I co-edited with Felipe Cucker by looking at item #26 on my paper's list.
