Currently, my mathematical interests center on wavelets, cocycles of an irrational rotation, and I recently have gotten interested in an elementary problem in polynomial approximations to inverse tangent.  My mathematics policy interests center on access issues to graduate mathematics education. 

Below  is a list of many of my mathematical/mathematics related publications; some are not yet published.  If the title is highlighted, you can download a Postscript or PDF version of it. (You can view and print Postcript files using a program called Ghostview; you can view PDF files using a program called Acrobat Reader which is usually already plugged into your browser, or which can be downloaded at the Adobe web site.) If you would like a hard copy of any of them or if you find an article in my CV that interests you and that is not in the list below, please write to me (hmedina@lmu.edu) with your request.
