Professor, Ph.D. 1972 University of Toronto, M.Sc. 1966 University of Toronto, A.B. 1965 Princeton University
Primary Field of Research:
Symmetries in complex analysis:
We are currently working on the following, all of which involve the study of the symmetries of complex manifolds under additional assumptions.
Secondary Field of Research:
Family History of the PEADS; particularly, in England

Some Background:
This is not required,
as part of any course, to be read by the students. But it does illustrate how
mathematicians have struggled with various ideas over the centuries
and sometimes
it took several years, and the work of several different people, in order to develop
most topics which are now a part of what we call modern mathematics.
