Tim Reluga

As of November 17, 2011

I am an assistant professor of mathematics and biology at Penn State and a member of the Center for Infectious Disease Dynamics (CIDD). My research interests concern the description, understanding, and prediction of the dynamics of biological systems, and the implications of biology for human communities. This currently includes work in ecology, epidemiology, immunology, evolution, medicine, human behavior, and economics. The most up-to-date information can be found on my departmental web page

Miscellaneous

• Public Key
• Good and not-so-good Science fiction literature.
• A rough list of books for mathbio graduate students.
• My favorite computer programs for getting work done
• A custom Ubuntu Distribution with basic tools for scientific computing, like Octave and Scientific Python. Students interested in trying out Linux without wanting to do a full install might find this live-CD useful.
• A gzipped tar archive example of the use of latex, foiltex, and texpower for making presentations.
• The best math homevideo ever made (despite the lame title).
• An antique web paper I wrote ages ago(1995) on some mathematics done in Greece thousands of years ago. (It's incomplete, since I ran out of time before I got around to the cube-doubling problem.)
