More about my work on my team web page. There are also some my notes and reports in Polish.

projects:

Portal TurcjaWSandalach.pl - portal for independent travelers (in Polish).
Quantiki - quantum Wiki project developed in cooperation with National University of Singapore.
Package quantum-octave for GNU Octave and Matlab.
Package QI for Mathematica computer algebra system, which implements number of functions used in the analysis of quantum states.
I'm an editor for the Open Directory Project (dmoz.org).

past projects:

Few GNU/PolSl lectures organized in 2007 (in Polish).
A game Wieze Hanoi (Towers of Hanoi) for mobiles I wrote in Java in 2002 . Source code and project report (in Polish).
A diary and photos from Turkey tour 2005 trip around Turkey.

quotation:

The shortest unit of time in the multiverse is the New York Second, defined as the period of time between the traffic lights turning green and the cab behind you honking.
– Terry Pratchett

fun:

If I were a Springer-Verlag Graduate Text in Mathematics, I would be W.B.R. Lickorish's An Introduction to Knot Theory.

I am an introduction to mathematical Knot Theory; the theory of knots and links of simple closed curves in three-dimensional space. I consist of a selection of topics which graduate students have found to be a successful introduction to the field. Three distinct techniques are employed; Geometric Topology Manoeuvres, Combinatorics, and Algebraic Topology.
