...or any other expression that welcomes you to this page. I last updated this page in December 2004 - since then I've obtained my doctoral degree from Stanford University, moved to Williamsburg, VA, as a visitor professor at the College of William and Mary... and moved back to Southern California, where I now teach at California State University, at Long Beach.
But enough about me - which is something weird to write in a personal webpage. Everything depends on YOU. What do you need from this site? In fact, why are you here???
If you are a student, take heart! We are in the middle of Fall 2008, it will soon be over - you may as well enjoy the ride. Go to Teaching and you can find my syllabi and office hours. If you are a colleague, maybe you want to know my research interests - there is a page for you too.
If you are a friend, just send me an email. I would love to hear from you.
