Phone My Office

You can call me at (619) 594-1492, my office, but that works only if I'm there, which unless it's office hours I probably won't be; I do nearly all my work at home.

Leave Me a Message

The best, most reliable method, is leaving a message with the Math Department at (619) 594-6191, during normal University business hours.

Mail Me a Letter:

Do Not Email Me

The reason I don't do e-mail with students is:

  1. You can't do math in e-mail without special software most people don't have, or without tedious coding;
  2. thus 90% of it tends to be requests for special treatment or complaints about grades, and
  3. for some students, for some odd reason, sending the teacher an e-mail excuses them in their own mind from coming to class.
  4. For that matter, not much real communication happens in e-mail anyway, as it tends for the most part to be an exchange of monologues rather than a true dialogue.

Also, due to back operations, I can't sit for long except in special chairs, which is why I work at home. And I don't like to post my home e-mail publicly.

However, to take care of possibilities I can't foresee, and to be as accessible as I can, I am looking into a campus e-mail I can access at home, for any special reasons not covered above that a student might have to want this avenue of contact. If and when this happens, I will post here this campus e-mail address.
