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". To read some reviews of "Mac OS X for UNIX Geeks" just click here.
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.
