Fall 2008: Real Analysis (Math 721)

Winter 2009: As part of the thematic program in o-minimal structures and real analytic geometry at the Fields Institute in Toronto, three graduate courses are taught. These courses can be taken for credit by McMaster graduate students! The lecture notes for my portion of these courses can be found here.

My interests

Model theory, o-minimal structures and real analytic geometry (more details). I am one of the organizers of a thematic program in o-minimal structures and real analytic geometry at the Fields Institute in Toronto from January to June 2009.
