Research

At the present, I am partiularly interested in the use of technology in the mathematics classroom. The introduction of the computer algebra system Maple has created an opportunity for creative teaching methods. I am particularly proud of my participation in the recent Conferences on Technology in Collegiate Mathematics. This annual conference has been cited by the Mathematical Association of Americas as being a particularly important annual event. It is at these conferences that ideas are shared and information about successes and failures are disseminated. Each year, I learn so much.

Our department participates in the Hudson River Undergraduate Mathematics Conference each year. I am an active mentor for the students who present the results of mathematical research conducted during the semester. The day is a learning experience for all of us. Two students, I worked with in 1994, earned the prestigious Sigma Xi medal for scientifc research at their graduation.
