Projects

1. [:Leon:Update] Jeffrey Leon's Partition Backtracking code

   • Tom Boothby, Robert Miller
2. Update Owen and Jeff's Genus Code.
   • Emily Kirkman
3. Algorithm to test for circular planarity
   • Emily Kirkman
   • Status: Linear time achievable by modifying input to Boyer and Myrvold algorithm. (Not reinventing the wheel, just sticking one in the graph). Currently working on including PIGALE's tgraph library in SAGE.
   • Resources:

     • Planarity Testing [http://www.cs.uvic.ca/~wendym/my_pubs/boyer.ps Algorithm]

     • [http://pigale.sourceforge.net/ PIGALE] implementation of the algorithm.

4. Enhancing precision with exact linear algebra
   • Tom Boothby, Emily Kirkman
5. Combinatorics of Coxeter Groups (with Sara Billey)
   • Tom Boothby, Kari Christianson, Emily Kirkman, Robert Miller

Wiki examples

To add a table of contents:

[[TableOfContents]]

To format the table of contents (simultaneously formatting the page):

== Top Level, No. 1 ==
== Top Level, No. 2 ==
=== Next Level, No. 1 ===
=== Next Level, No. 2 ===
==== Another Level, etc. ====
== Top Level, No. 3 ==

To create a new wiki page, simply navigate there, and you will be given a new blank page.

MoinMoin, this particular brand of wiki, also allows you to use LaTeX:

\sum_{k=1}^n{n \choose k}x^k

Here's how to do that:

$$\sum_{k=1}^n{n \choose k}x^k$$
$\sum_{k=1}^n{n \choose k}x^k$
$$\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\0 & 1 & 0 & 0 \\0 & 0 & 0 & \omega \\0 & 0 & -\omega & 0\end{array}\right]$$

NOTE: The double-dollar notation is a replacement for LaTeX's math environment \[...\], which does not work in the wiki.
