I earned a BS degree in Physics and Mathematics from Texas A&M University and a Ph.D. in Mathematics from Princeton University. After four years as a Ritt Assistant Professor of Mathematics at Columbia University I developed an interest in computation and teaching. I was an early adopter of Mathematica, starting with version 1.

In 1991 I joined the Lawrence University Mathematics Department with a joint appointment in mathematics and computer science. Since that time I have become more and more active in teaching computer science.

I teach a wide range of courses in computer science. Languages I teach include Java, C, C++, Python, Mathematica, and Javascript.

My primary research interest is in software development. For a number of years now I have been writing C++ applications using the Qt application framework.

The primary product of my recent work is Lucid IVE software.

An older project of mine is DirectMath. (Most of the lecture notes you will see posted on my course web sites were written using DirectMath.)

I enjoy gardening and cycling. The area around Appleton offers many great roads for cycling: here are some of my recent rides.
