Group Theory: An Example-Based Introduction, forthcoming from CRC Press (2026)

This textbook introduces the central ideas of group theory through a blend of examples, geometric intuition, and applications. Designed for a one-semester introductory course, it emphasizes clarity and motivation and offers a wide range of exercises that develop both computational fluency and conceptual understanding. The approach invites students to see group theory as a natural language for symmetry, structure, and transformation.

The Infinite Palace: Symmetry, Beauty, and Geometry in al-Andalus, in development

This book investigates the mathematical and cultural structures underlying the art and architecture of medieval al-Andalus, with a special focus on the geometric ornament of the Alhambra. It considers how symmetry and pattern guided artistic practice and how these visual ideas resonate with historical narrative, intellectual tradition, and the meanings attached to place. The project aims to bring together mathematics, art, and cultural history for general readers.
