Professional Background:
After receiving my Ph.D. in mathematics at Indiana University (Bloomington) in 1973, I
spent two years as a Bateman Instructor at Caltech and then joined the mathematics faculty
at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology. Over the
years at Rose-Hulman, I have served as acting chair of the department two times (each was
for a one year period which is long enough), have taken three sabbaticals (one in
statistics, one in numerical linear algebra, and the most recent at Kanazawa Institute of
Technology in Japan.
Being at a small engineering school allows a faculty member to teach a variety of classes. During my stay at Rose, I have taught calculus, differential equations, linear algebra, probability and statistics, real analysis, topology, numerical analysis, and operations research.
My research areas have changed throughout the years from operator theory on Hilbert spaces (thesis topic) to linear algebra (back to finite dimensions) and then to numerical linear algebra.
