msh210℠: Michael Hamm on the Internet (and elsewhere)

My Web site

This site started out at NYU when I was a student there. The URL was http://pages.nyu.edu/~msh210/ (now dead). Realizing that I wouldn't be a student there forever, I moved the site, first to Geocities, then, when I had a problem with Geocities, to Crosswinds, and then, when Crosswinds dropped its free service, to wustl.edu, where it remains today.

Contacting me

The best means of contacting me over the Internet is via e-mail. I have a few e-mail addresses, most of which point to the same inbox. Of these, use msh210@math.wustl.edu.

You may, if you wish, instead contact me using talk, write, or AOL IM, if I happen to be logged in.

Or you can write to me at my school:

Michael Hamm
Dept. of Mathematics
Campus Box 1146
Washington University
University City, Mo. 63130-4899
USA

Or you can stop by my office, room 10 in the basement of Cupples I.

If you are on a campus computer, you can also finger me at artsci, math, thor, dax, einstein, zagi, laforge, uhura, tribble, or webwork.

• GAMES magazine, "Wild Cards" column, December 1996, December 1997, and February 1999.
