My favorite paper,
representative of some of my past research in model theory for nonmonotonic logic (it's abstract and very
theoretical) is:
• Preservation
Properties in Deductive Data Bases (1992) (pdf)
My most recent (2024) major paper (published by Oxford University Press),
representative of some of my past research in analysis of algorithms is:
• Worst-Case Analysis of Heapsort, Exactly
My
teaching
interest
included:
• Discrete
Mathematics
• Data
Structures
• Operating
Systems
Concepts
• Programming
Languages
• Analysis
of
Algorithms & NP-Completeness Theory (my favorite)
• Finite Automata, Mathematical Linguistics, & Decidability Theory
• Computers
and
Society (it is so fun to teach)
My
teaching
objective
was
to
offer
my students a first-hand knowledge of
the state-of-the-art of the discipline. I believe that by watching me
solve problems in classroom, my students learned what they usually could not
find in their textbooks: how to become successful and creative
problem-solvers.
I have learned from
some of my former students that this timeless ability they acquired in
my classes has
greatly enhanced their professional careers.
