I am a Professor of Mathematics at Callfornia Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo, California. That's me on the left. See if you can find me in the departmental picture.

I earned a Bachelor of Science Degree at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York, a Master's Degee at the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee, and a Ph. D. at the University of California at Santa Barbara, all in Mathematics.

I have been at Cal Poly for over a quarter century after a few years at Ohio University in Athens, Ohio, and the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryand.

I regularly teach courses in vector calculus, differential equations, linear algebra, real and complex analysis, abstract algebra, partial differential equations, and mathematical software (Maple).

I use Maple in some of my classes (odes, pdes, linear algebra) and have written a few Maple manuals. I am working on the Great Maple Book, but it is a moving target.
