Anthony G. O'Farrell: The Fellowship

Anthony G. O'Farrell: The Fellowship of the Algebra

(and of the Ring, the Group, and various other algebraic structures in analysis and geometry, etc.) I enjoy working with other people on Mathematical problems, and welcome approaches from all quarters (our students, students elsewhere, faculty in our and other departments, school-teachers, the public at large, anyone with a problem or an interest in discussing a problem).

For my current research concerns, see my summary research page.

For potential research students, my updated list of project proposals is here (in pdf). In general, it's a good idea to start working on your plans for the coming academic year before Christmas.

For schoolteachers who would like to get involved in some research, there is SFI's STARs programme. This funds you to work with people like me during the school holidays. I usually propose some project for consideration. Application are due early each year. Keep an eye on SFI's site.

For teachers and secondary students who like problem-solving, I recommend getting involved in problem-contest activites, such as the Mathematical Olympiads and the High School Maths Contest. I participate in the work of the North Kildare Maths Problem Club, which runs Saturday morning sessions in preparation for the Irish Mathematical Olympiad. If you are new to this kind of thing, I recommend starting with a good book.
