I joined the faculty of the Department of Mathematics and Computer
Science at Salisbury in August, 2008. For 30 years prior to that, I
was a member of the faculty at Boston College in the Department of
Mathematics, serving two terms as its Chair (2001 to 2007) prior to my
leaving BC.
I've previously taught both
mathematics and computer
science courses ranging in level from freshman through senior, and
through second-year, graduate level on the mathematics side.
Up until a few years ago, I was active with several co-authors on
publications involving the
use of Maple and Mathematica
(John Wiley & Sons), plus advanced texts titled An Introduction to Analysis (Jones
& Bartlett) and An Introduction
to Linear Programming and Game Theory (John Wiley & Sons).
You can find out more on my publications page.
I've also worked outside academia, including several (albeit dated) consulting stretches with the MITRE Corporation as a Lead Scientist. A (reasonably) current CV contains more detail on all of this.
I will not be on campus again until the beginning of
the Fall semester (August 26), when my schedule looks to be:

MATH 155
(Modern
Statistics with Computer Analysis) is a one-semester,
introductory statistics course that covers most traditional parametric
methods (confidence intervals, hypothesis test, etc.) and some
non-parametric ideas (e.g., a signed rank test).
Prerequisites: Basic high school algebra and geometry, which means that we assume you’re familiar with notions such as variable, formula, equation, graphs of equations, and areas of plane regions.
Required Component:
A scientific calculator. Although not required, the TI-84 level
calculator is highly recommended, as it includes many statistical
operations that will make your life easier.
Required Component: Students will complete a small number of
reports using the statistical software Minitab that is available in all
public computing facilities on campus.
Required Component: We
will be using the
online assessment and homework grading system MyStatLab, access to which will be made available at no
charge with the purchase of the required Triola text at the SU
bookstore.
