A Primer for Undergraduate Research: From Groups and Tiles to Frames and Vaccines (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9783319660646)

Aaron Wootton, Valerie Peterson and Christopher Lee are all current professors in the Mathematics department of the University of Portland.

Professor Wootton's research interests include Complex Algebraic Geometry: Defining equations for Riemann Surfaces, Quasiplatonic Surfaces and Dessins D'Enfants, Automorphism Groups of Compact Riemann Surfaces; Group Theory: Finite Groups (Group Actions and Structure Theory), Finitely Presented Groups; Geometric Group Theory: Discrete Groups (Fuchsian Groups and Fundamental Groups), Mapping Class Groups of Compact Connected Surfaces.

Professor Lee's research interests include equivariant differential topology and geometry. In particular: Hamiltonian Lie group actions on (folded) symplectic and contact manifolds, symmetry in completely integrable systems, applications of (combinatorial and smooth) Morse theory, and singularities of differentiable mappings.
