Hi, this is the Home Page of my personal mathematical website. Note: Internet Explorer may prompt you to allow Active scripts to view portions of this site. What that amounts to is being able to view some of my Cosmic Quotes as they scroll across the top of the website. Wild Egg Books, Sydney This website outlines my mathematical research interests , and describes my book Divine Proportions: Rational Trigonometry to Universal Geometry.

Downloads of various parts of the book are available here, in particular Chapter 1. It is also the location of a Rational Trigonometry site --a place to collect various papers and examples illustrating rational trigonometry. You can view my YouTube videos on rational trigonometry. There are four series: WildTrig on Rational trigonometry and geometry, Math Foundations on, foundations of mathematics, WildLinAlg which is a first course in Linear Algebra, and seminars.

You may find some of my mathematical papers and separately various survey articles , as well as information about my teaching and service to UNSW University of New South Wales. Here are some views and opinions that you might find provocative and interesting on set theory, infinities, rational trigonometry, evolution versus Intelligent Design etc.

Diophantine equation solver Michael Leeming This beautiful program uses the power method of N J Wildberger to solve Diophantine equations over finite fields of prime order.

The power method doesn't always work, but it does surprisingly well, even for large complicated equations. Many beautiful lattices in the combinatorial sense arise. Ellipson cross sections Thai Son Huang A simple applet showing the lovely ellipson, arising from the Triple spread formula in Rational trigonometry. Finite geometry graphics Alexander Ma An applet which allows you to graph lines, circles and some other conics in a finite field of prime order.
