Karen Yeats

I'm an assistant professor in the math department at Simon Fraser University. Find my contact information here.

I work in combinatorics and quantum field theory. I'm often thinking about the connection between Feynman graphs and multiple zeta values, as well as the recursive structure of quantum field theory and what we can learn from it. Sometimes this leads afield, recently to algebraic geometry and to differential equations. I also play with more purely combinatorial ideas like log concavity and recursive families of trees. I'm interested in anything fun.

Research:

Papers. Students. The current learning seminar.

Personal:

A Lego horseshoe crab and a scan of Ganassi's Fontegara.

Teaching:

Spring 2012 I am teaching MACM 201 and MACM 203.

Previously, Math 303: Paradoxes in set theory, Fall 2011; Math 240, Spring 2011; Math 818, Fall 2010; Math 240, Summer 2010; a reading course grown large; Math 817, Fall 2009; and Math 240, Spring 2009.

Computers:

Some out of date information on putting Debian on an HP/Compaq tc1100 tablet pc. On a lighter note, some frozen bubble levels.
