Her main teacher for this was Peter Sarnak. For her Ph.D., she wrote a big paper called Statistical Properties of Certain Exponential Sums. This paper was about special math problems.

Books She Helped Write

Giuliana Davidoff has also helped write several math books. These books help others learn about math.

Elementary Number Theory, Group Theory and Ramanujan Graphs (written with Peter Sarnak and Alain Valette, 2003)
The Geometry of Numbers (written with Carl D. Olds and Anneli Cahn Lax, 2001)
