Statement of Research Interests

After publishing papers in univalent function theory and the history of mathematics, and motivated by departmental priorities, I shifted to considerations in collegiate mathematics education. My investigations on undergraduate and graduate curriculum issues and preparation for college teaching are documented by publications and presentations and I have had my grant support for the last decade along these lines. When some of these projects are completed I hope to turn attention to history of mathematics and to edit two books. I have held numerous offices and committee appointments in four mathematics professional societies at the national and state levels.

Three years ago I became concerned that we did not have a focused undergraduate major option for students interested in actuarial careers. With the cooperation of departmental, statistics and risk management colleagues, I set up a program and teach a senior level introduction to theory of interest and life contingencies. I have directed two master's degree students with this career goal.
