Abstract: Abstract When my Ph.D. advisor Larry Payne heard I was leaving Minnesota to go to Colorado, he told me, “Sure, I understand, you want to go home…but you know, that Math Department out there has always messed things up. Almost always, they do.” Larry seldom said anything bad about anybody. But his words would turn out to be prophetic indeed.
