For the 2010-2011 school year I will be at MIT OpenCourseWare helping to launch their OCW Scholar calculus courses and forge links between MIT's math and engineering courses.
I became a professor in the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at Bridgewater State in September of 2003. Projects and courses I'm currently involved in are listed above. In the past I've also taught or worked with:
MATH100, Precalculus
MATH105, Selected Topics in Mathematics
MATH112, Mathematics for Elementary Teachers I
MATH130, Discrete Mathematics I
MATH142, Elements of Calculus II
MATH301, Abstract Algebra I
HSED422/MSED456, Strategies for Teaching Mathematics
MATH325, Foundations of Geometry
MATH562, Topics in Geometry
Mathematics Services
My primary interests are educational technology and discrete geometry. I've been fortunate to help with the design and implementation of several courses and programs, including the Math Coach program -- a precursor to BSU's STREAMSStructured Learning Assistance program -- Logo for high school teachers and Calculus III computer lab, the UMN's Technology in the Geometry Classroom and Calculus Initiative, and geometry for teachers courses and programs run by James King at the University of Washington.
I've also published the book The Symmetries of Things about repeating patterns with co-authors John Conway and Chaim Goodman-Strauss.
