Sammy goes to Mathcamp (December 2000-June 2001)

Apologia
What can I say? Sammy is all about in-jokes, and the in-group varies. Sometimes it consists of most mathematicians; at others, it becomes more specialised, at times shrinking to those who were in a particular class with me or (worse still) to just the inside of my head. Inevitably, for parts of "Sammy goes to Mathcamp", the in-group will consist of people who were at MC2K at UBC in July and August 2000.

Sammy proves the h-cobordism theorem (February 2002)
Possibly the only proof by cartoon! All the major steps are there...but the details are somewhat lacking...

NEW!
Sammy teaches linear algebra and differential equations (January-September 2003)
Amazingly, this one has no topology jokes in it whatsoever! Absolutely none! Don't worry though, it's as full of bad jokes as the rest of them... And yes, it was drawn after "Sammy the (n-1)th year Graduate Student", but chronologically it belongs before.

Next: Sammy the Graduated Student.
After years of hard work Sammy's finally got his PhD, and as soon as I find out what happens to him and find time to draw it you'll be able to read it here. Don't expect to see it any time soon though...
