Susan Williams

Professor of Mathematics, University of South Alabama

Welcome to my home page.

My areas of research are symbolic dynamical systems and knot theory. In recent years I have mainly been investigating applications of the former to the latter.

My teaching page has useful information for students in my classes, and miscellaneous recreational and educational links. In particular, you'll find links related to the mathematics of origami, one of my hobbies.

Travel Plans:

Some recent or upcoming conferences:

Knot Theory: 50 Years Since Fox and Milnor, Brandeis University, June 2-5, 2008.
Northwest Dynamics Symposium III (Karlfest), Victoria BC, August 5-9, 2008. I had to miss this meeting due to a fractured ankle, but I contributed a double-crostic to celebrate Karl Petersen's 65th birthday.
Joint Mathematics Meetings, Washington, DC, January 5-8, 2009.
Knots in Washington XXVII, George Washington University, January 9-11, 2009.
