Personal Statement

I am a Professor of Pure Mathematics, and my main research interests are in algebra.
I am a strong believer in the role of liberal education and its importance for all students. One of my favorite quotes that best describes the role of liberal art education comes from T.S. Eliot: 鈥淣o one can become really educated without having pursued some study in which he took no interest. For it is part of education to interest ourselves in subjects for which we have no aptitude.鈥�
