Mathematics Assessment ToolALL entering students are asked to take an assessment of their preparedness for college level mathematics. Whether you plan on taking a mathematics course this year or not, please visit the pageMathematics Assessmentand complete this evaluation. |
You can find out more about me here. Some people find my humor hard to understand, here is a sample. (Last updated 2009-01-03.) Since I do a lot of programming, I find value in words of wisdom of other programmers. |
Rubik's CubeThe July 2008 issue of Scientific American has an interesting issue of some of the mathematics behind Rubik's Cube and other puzzles based on similar mathematics. There are a number of on-line references to related matters. |
Top 200 JobsJobsRated.com offers help for uncertain job seekers by analyzing 200 different jobs according to 5 vital criteria: Stress, Work Environment, Physical Demands, Income and Outlook. In every area each job receives a specific score, and data is mined to provide the most detailed information possible -- for example, rather than listing average incomes, our rankings combine each job's mid-level salary with its outlook score, which eliminates data from employees making too much or too little to provide a more accurate result.You may be surprised that mathematician is ranked as the number one job. |

Mathematics CompetitionOn Saturday, 14 Nov 2009, Nyles Breecher, David Feshbach and Aaron Hardin took part in the North Central Section Mathematical Association of American Math Team Contest. Last year David placed in the top 12% in a national mathematics competition. These same students will be taking part in the Putnam Mathematics Competition in the first week of December.If you like you can check out this year's problems. If you get frustrated I have also posted the solutions. |

Memoirs from the gulagWe read of war and the devastation that it causes. But at times seeing the pictures we lose track of the devastation of individual lives. My mother lived a very priveleged life before the outbreak of World War II. However the invasion of Soviet forces from the East (liberation as Putin would still like to claim) liberated both my father's and mother's familiys of everything that they owned, and deported my mother to a work farm within spitting distance of the Chinese border. My mother wrote her memoirs of those times and my daughter translated them into English. |
Study on Playgrounds and MathematicsRussell Lopez of Boston University reports a link between playgrounds at elementary schools and math performance. Read more ...
Algebraic TopologyMy first research field, and my first-love is algebraic topology. Bob Bruner has a nice description of this beautiful subject as well as many other links to pages on topology.
John Baez' PagesJohn Baez is a physicist who also does research on catgegory theory and topology. His pages always have something interesting. |
C++ BuilderThis is a RAD tool for the development of GUI interfaces for C++ code, now in its 4th release. I am archiving a mailing list for CPB and will be adding other links for this system
SiteComp for WindowsI have been working on a CAD package for the civil engineering market for a number of years. The concept of the package is due to Richard Harrison but the algorithms used in the package and its implementation are mine. You can find a full description here.On 25 December 2007 Richard Harrison and I were awarded a patent for the development of this package. |

A philosophy of using Java to teach computer science
at SUNY Oswego. (Old but still interesting.)
Ask a Mathematician is an interesting site with great questions and responses. The Topology Atlas is a wonderful resource for news on topology. 
His words are still relevant today, but is anyone listening.

Lessons on the history of computer science
at the University of Regina in Canada.
arXiv is a repository of links to sources in Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science and related fields. Eric W. Weisstein (at the University of Virginia) has put on line the CRC Concise Encyclopedia of Mathematics which has great definitions and links to many many areas of mathematics. Computer Science at Dartmouth College Indiana University Computer Science Entry Point |
The Math Archives has a really fine collection of Calculus
Resources Online, among many other wonderful things.
With data on half a million students from 41 countries, the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) is the largest, most comprehensive, and most rigorous international study of schools and students ever.
