About
After my PhD at Cornell, I started out as a pure mathematician doing algebraic topology. Then I got an MS in computer science and became interested in computer algebra. I do symbolic computation of multivariate polynomials and matrices. A few of my papers can be found here.
I am the author of Fermat, computer algebra system. See

Under "talks" here you will find a popular article I wrote about my research recently, called "Polynomials Everywhere." Near the end of that article there is reference to a movie of a new flexible structure. See http://home.bway.net/lewis/flex2.MOV
I have also written an essay on mathematics education. See
