Welcome. This page contains some basic information. Much more is hiding behind the various links.

Research

Information about my research.

My papers and preprints. And some recent talks I've given.

I am a member of WPI's Cryptography and Information Security (CRIS) Research Laboratory.


Teaching

Here are some on-line resources for courses I am currently teaching. This material is mainly intended for students enrolled in those courses, but visitors are welcome to have a look.

I hope my students will take an interest in the US presidential election. Here is a small web page with some interesting links about the electoral college and swing states. If I get time, I'll be adding to this over the semester.

And here is a recent draft of my PowerPoint presentation on codes and the compact disc. It's aimed at undergraduates who have seen basic linear algebra and have some imagination.

If you are interested in more general things, you may want to read about my teaching, including courses taught and pedagogical discussions.

I have finally transported my Modular Arithmetic Calculator from Winnipeg to Worcester. It still needs plenty of work, but it's useful for calculations by students such as those working in cryptography.


Personal

There is not much to know about Bill Martin. But here are a few details, for now. A professional blurb can be found here.


Research Conferences

CIMPA-UNESCO Summer School "Semidefine Programming in Algebraic Combinatorics" Manila, The Philippines, July 20 to August 3, 2009. This summer school will be held at the University of the Philippines.

Here is a list of some upcoming conferences, as well as some recent conferences that I have been involved with.
