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. You can read about symbolic dynamics in this Scholarpedia article.

My teaching page has useful information for students in my classes, and miscellaneous recreational and educational links.

Mathematical Origami is one of my hobbies.

My pick of upcoming local events:

Mobile Chamber Music presents Boris Andrianov, cello and Alexander Kobrin, piano, 3 p.m. Sunday, February 19 at Laidlaw. Student tickets are only $10.

Mobile Math Society meets at Satori Coffee House (5460 Old Shell Road). Watch for news of the next meeting.

Travel Plans:

Some recent or upcoming conferences:

AMS Sectional Meeting, University of South Florida, Tampa, March 10-11, 2012.

Photo Albums:

Walterfest: Photos from Faces of Geometry: 3-Manifolds, Groups and Singularities, Columbia University/Barnard College, June 2011.
Oberwolfach: Photos from the workshop on Low Dimensional Topology and Number Theory at Mathematisches Forschungsinstitute Oberwolfach in August 2010.
Origami tessellations: Examples of the 17 wallpaper groups, each folded flat from a single sheet of paper.
Knots and links from Vaison-la-Romain, Orange and Albi, France.
