We have resided in Salisbury since 1971. I received an EdD in mathematics education from Indiana University (1975). While at Indiana University, I worked under Maki and Thompson as graduate assistant in their pioneering Mathematical Models and Applications course. I completed an MA in mathematics at San Diego State University (1966), a BA in mathematics at the University of Hawaii (1960), and an AA at Chaffey College (1958). I started my teaching career at Punahou School in Honolulu, Hawaii where I taught mathematics and coached track and field. I taught at Palm Springs High School in California and at James Madison University in Virgina before coming to Salisbury University (SU) in 1971. Although my primary teaching interests are in the areas of mathematical modeling and mathematics for elementary school teachers, I also taught such courses as operations research, calculus, linear algebra, and computer graphics. In addition to serving as chair of the Department of Mathematics for four years, I served as dean of the Henson School of Science and Technology for two and one-half years, and as provost of the university for three yea...Expand for more
