Hi! I'm Professor Korevaar. My office is JWB 218, my phone number is 581-7318, and my email address is korevaar@math.utah.edu. You can find a link to this page at my home page, http://www.math.utah.edu/~korevaar.

     The math portion of ACCESS is the first week, June 11-15, and the fourth week, July 2-6. Our theme for the first week will be codes and cryptography. Here's my current plan for what we'll be doing. It could change as the week progresses. If you want to explore campus from your computer, use the interactive campus map.
