About Jon Sorenson

My research is in algorithmic number theory. I often work with Butler undergraduate students, and I often use Butler's cluster, the Big Dawg.
If you only find a link, which does not lead to a freely downloadable version of the paper, contact me and I can send you a PDF, so long as it's for private or educational purposes.
