This website is for the math parts of Luke Wolcott.
It is an exhibition of my mathematical interests and work, cast into the internet with the hope of establishing connections with like-minded thinkers. If something catches your eye, I encourage you to email me.
It is also an attempt at articulating the challenging subject matter of mathematics. In various places, I've written up short answers and long answers to the question "What is....?" The short answers are aimed at strangers to mathematics, like my grandmother. The long answers are aimed at acquaintances of mathematics, like my college-educated cousins. There are several such essays on the Current Projects page.
I'm currently a sixth-year math graduate student at the University of Washington, in Seattle. I'm working with John Palmieri, in algebraic topology. In spring 2010, I completed my General Exam and have begun research in earnest. Two preprints will be up on the arXiv soon! You can read them now on the Publications page.
On these pages you'll also find various attempts to give insight into the process and experience of doing mathematics. How do we learn, understand, create/discover, and communicate mathematics? I've used video, discussion groups, music, performance art, a blog, and even written a book exploring these questions.
