About

I am a professor of mathematics at the University of Georgia.

NOTE: In Spring 2015 my department adjusted the mechanics of its webpage, which broke a lot of my links. For now, if you see a broken link like http://www.math.uga.edu/~pete/inversemw.pdf, try changing it to http://alpha.math.uga.edu/~pete/inversemw.pdf. It should fix the problem.
