Nathan C. Ryan
My mathematical interests can be broadly described as being in the computational aspects of modular forms, with particular interest in
Siegel modular forms. Authors accompanied by a * are undergraduate co-authors.

Undergraduate Research Projects
- Kevin McGoldrick verified the Sato-Tate conjecture for Siegel modular forms of degree 2.
- Lauren Grainer verified the Riemann Hypothesis for spinor L-function associated to Siegel modular forms.
Sage is a far-ranging, free, open source computer algebra system in which I am pretty heavily involved. The algorithms I am developing in my research
are awaiting implementation in Sage.
Code Written
- A class that provides degree 2 Siegel modular forms and their Hecke theory for SAGE (co-written with Craig Citro and Nils-Peter Skoruppa)
