Our new girl

THE GREAT TEXAS SHOE CAPER Once upon a time, some bizzar stuff  started  appearing in Texas. At first, it just looked like small joke , but it  grew  and got  bigger . It  got huge and didn't even  stop .

Here are some of my math papers. If you would like a copy of one which is not posted on the net, just send me an e-mail.
