Academic and Technical Areas of Interest
-
Numerical Analysis and Scientific Computation.
- As time permits, I explore
the topic of Computational Science on Mac OS X.
-
I've completed about 80% of a textbook entitled
"Scientific Programming with C and UNIX." I continue work on this book whenever I get the chance.
- Over the last few years, I have developed several case studies in scientific visualization using lower-division
mathematics. I hope to publish these when I get a chance to prepare a paper on this topic.
- You can see a complete list of publications and invited lectures on
my CV.
-
Development and Porting Software on UNIX-based Operating Systems.
- I presented A Unix User's Guide to Mac OS X to the Providence Chapter of the IEEE Presentation (April 2006)
- I wrote Managing Packages on Panther with DarwinPorts,
published by O'Reilly & Associates (April 2004).
- I co-authored with Brian Jepson,
"Mac OS X for UNIX Geeks, 4th Edition" (also with Rich Rosen),
"Mac OS X Tiger for UNIX Geeks",
"Mac OS X Panther for UNIX Geeks", and
"Mac OS X for UNIX Geeks".

- I contributed to
"Mac OS X Panther Hacks"
by By Rael Dornfest, James Duncan Davidson. O'Reilly Media.
June 2004. ISBN: 0-596-00718-3.
- I contributed to
"Mac OS X Panther in a Nutshell, 2nd Edition"
by Chuck Toporek, Chris Stone, Jason McIntosh. O'Reilly Media. June 2004. ISBN: 0-596-00606-3
- I have, over the last few years, learned and
performed system administration
on Solaris on SUN/SPARC systems, and Linux on PowerPC based computers.
-
Applied Mathematics and Computational Science Education.
I am especially interested in developing interdisciplinary approaches and
exploring opportunities for teaching mathematics across the curriculum within
the context of a liberal arts education.
- Miscellaneous.
- I contributed a "hack" to the book Statistics Hacks by Bruce Frey,
O'Reilly Media. May 2006. ISBN: 0-596-10164-3.
