Welcome to the homepage of Dr. Laura K. Gross, Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at Bridgewater State University (BSU), part of the state-university system in Massachusetts. Send me e-mail at laura dot gross at bridgew dot edu, visit me in Hart Hall Room 228, or call me at 508 531 2391.
In Spring 2012 I am teaching Calculus III (MATH-251) and Elements of Precalculus (MATH-140). I have previously also taught Calculus I (MATH-151), Calculus II (MATH-152), Differential Equations (MATH-316), Programming and Computer Algebra (COMP-203), Precalculus (MATH-100), and Precalculus with Trigonometry (MATH-150) at BSU, as well as precalculus, calculus, linear algebra, algebra with business applications, mathematics for liberal arts, and Advanced Engineering Mathematics I and II at The University of Akron.My research interests involve modeling a variety of physical systems spanning combustion, optics, liquid crystals, and polymers using differential equations. I apply analytical and numerical techniques to study nonlinear dynamics, especially of reaction-diffusion equations, free-boundary-value problems, and dynamical systems. You can download .pdf versions of my publications or look at my whole curriculum vitae.
Check out local activities in southeastern Massachusetts.
Thank you for visiting, and have a nice day.
