I am currently chair of the BYU Mathematics Department. For more about me, look at my curriculum vitae

Research

I am working on some problems in algebraic geometry relating to moduli spaces of curves.
Most of my publications are available at the arXiv.org preprint server
A few of my papers that are not available at arXiv.org have been requested by several people. These include the following:
- T. Jarvis, Compactification of the universal Picard over the moduli of stable curves. Mathematische Zeitschrift 235, 123-149 (2000).
- T. Jarvis and J. Tanton, The Hairy Ball Theorem via Sperner's Lemma. American Mathematical Monthly, 111, no. 7, 599-603 (2004).
- T. Jarvis, Class Size and Teacher Effects on Student Achievement and Dropout Rates in University-Level Calculus. Preprint.

Math 112: Calculus I. the class webpage has more information about texts and answers to other frequently asked questions.

I am supervising several students--both undergraduates and graduates.

My students are mostly working on problems related to new developments in mirror symetry and quantum singularity theory.

Some of my students are also working on questions in tropical geometry and algebra. They have a webpage with various results and useful tools, such as Nathan Grigg's Maple code for studying tropical geometry and algebra.
