Josh Kantor's Homepage
I am graduate student at the University of Washington studying mathematics. I study differential geometry, in particular I am interested in connections between mathematics and physics. I am also interested in computers and programming. SAGE is an open source computer algebra system that I contribute to that is based on python. You can use it online if you would like here.
Papers and Notes
- I have some notes on scientific computing in SAGE/Python. Topics include numpy, scipy, cvxopt, using C and Fortran interactively in SAGE/Python, and mpi4py. Useful for things that need to be really fast: Numerical_Notes. If anyone actually reads these and finds them interesting or has comments I'd be happy to hear from you.
- I am a co-author of a paper about explicitly computing Kahler-Einstein metrics numerically: Numerical_Kahler. You can find some more information about this project here .
- Also here are slides from a talk I gave about grobner bases: grobner_slides .
Miscellaneous
The following are from xkcd, a comic I really like. Before you check it out you should be aware of the following warning from the xkcd website
