Lynch, Mark – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2021
In high school, unit discs were all circular. Squares and diamonds were added to the list of shapes in a Real Analysis course and although more bizarre shapes appeared in graduate school, the list of possible shapes didn't appear endless. In this note, we'll show that unit discs can have almost any shape imaginable.

Lynch, Mark – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2012
We continue our study of topological X-rays begun in Lynch ["Topological X-rays and MRI's," iJMEST 33(3) (2002), pp. 389-392]. We modify our definition of a topological magnetic resonance imaging and give an affirmative answer to the question posed there: Can we identify a closed set in a box by defining X-rays to probe the interior and without…
