Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering, West Lafayette, IN in 2008
Contributor, MathDL Workshop for the NSDL (National Science
Digital Library), The Carriage House, Mathematical Association of
America, Washington, DC in 2008 & 2009
Principal Investigator, Mathematical
Methods for Biology & Medicine (NSF DUE #0535924). The
work includes
developing a new course, Mathematical
Methods for Biology &
Medicine. The grant also extends materials and offerings
for the
existing Calculus for Biology &
Medicine course that JCCC currently
offers.
Involved as an editor and trainer with an NSF grant to
revive the
CODEE resources and provide a related
infrastructure to support contemporary differential equations
instruction. This grant, with principal investigators at Harvey
Mudd College, is entitled Online
Resources to Improve the Teaching
and Learning of Differential Equations: Encouraging the
Widespread Use of Modeling and Computing (NSF DUE
#0717490).
Developing web tools and modules for mathematical biology
topics,
particularly as they relate to biology, biotechnology, chemistry,
physiology, &
medicine. The idea that has emerged is a modular learning
community hosted/facilitated through technology. Integrating the
use of the WeBWorK homework system in my mathematics courses.
