My Math Genealogy

The following is my branch on the mathematics genealogy tree. All information and the title of their thesis can be found using the math genealogy search page (AMS mirror). Some information may be incomplete, so if you can fill in some of the blanks make sure to email the genealogy site. To read this page: Paul Goerss is my advisor and Franklin Peterson was his advisor. Since some mathematicians can have two advisors, some of them can and will have branches merging underneath them.
