Recent Presentations, Publications, Grants
Fall, 1997:
Received mini-grant from Austin Community College, entitled Math Instruction
using HTML/Java. The purpose of this grant was to identify and prepare
10 Internet math lessons on a variety of mathematical subjects. This was
an experiment to see how effectively the relatively recent technology of
the Java language can be exploited to present math lessons over the Internet.
For further details, see the applicant's web page (top of resume).
