My office is Lunt B2 (in the basement; Lunt is located just north of Kellogg on Sheridan).

During Fall 2008, I will be at the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute in Berkeley, CA; to contact me, use email.

If you would like me to write a recommendation letter on your behalf, please provide me with the following information:
     1) a transcript
     2) a list of relevant activities outside the classroom (or a resume)
     3) information on where the letter needs to be submitted and by what date it needs to be submitted.
