- I maintain a large collection of algorithms lecture notes, homeworks, and exams. Fifty pages here, fifty pages there, pretty soon you're really killing some trees!
- I have some very bright students!
- John Hart and I started a weekly seminar on computational topology, which ran from Fall 2002 through Spring 2006. The seminar alternated between the computer science and mathematics departments every semester: CS in the fall, math in the spring.
- I'm occasionally in charge of the theory qualifying exam.

Visual Explanations (Graphics Press, 1996)Give a man a fish, and he'll eat for a day.
Teach a man to fish, and he'll eat for a lifetime.
Teach a man to teach, and the whole village will eat forever,
but you'll be out of a job.- folklore
