I'm an assistant professor of mathematics at the University of Wyoming. I specialize in discrete geometry, especially geometry and combinatorics of polyhedra. Maelin already gave a good account of the way in which mathematics calls upon (or does not call upon) rationality.

I also have a pretty good amateur's familiarity with contemporary philosophy in the analytic tradition and with the philosophy of mathematics.
