Teaching Interests

I enjoy teaching applied mathematics courses, where I hope to develop students into confident and competent problem solvers. My courses have practical projects in which students model and solve situations involving rates of change.

 

Research, Scholarship or Creative/Artistic Interests

My research covers a broad range of topics, including connecting calculus to Gothic architecture, developing interactive lively applications projects (ILAPs), using differential equations and modeling and predicting rare events in baseball using sabermetrics (the statistical analysis of baseball records).

 

  • Calculus I
  • CUE: Directed Research: Linear Algebra Research
  • Dana Ind Study/Research - The Ideal Viewing Point
  • Differential Equations
  • Discrete Mathematics
  • Operations Research
  • Symmetry & Shape: Introduction to Geometry
  • Crossette Family Fellowship for International Research, 2018
  • Robert C. Williams Faculty Research Award
  • Outstanding Faculty Advisor to First-Year Students Award

Since 2007, I have advised 20 Muhlenberg students with undergraduate research. Each student presented at undergraduate research conferences, and some published results.

 

I have authored or co-authored 13 books in mathematics and sabermetrics. In addition, I have published 167 book chapters/articles and over 410 refereed research papers.
