"Nothing has afforded me so convincing a proof of the unity of the Deity as these purely mental conceptions of numerical and mathematical science which have been by slow degrees vouchsafed to man, and are still granted in these latter times by the Differential Calculus, now superseded by the Higher Algebra, all of which must have existed in that sublimely omniscient Mind from eternity." ~Mary Somerville (1780 - 1872)
Quoted in Martha Somerville, Personal Recollections of Mary Somerville (Boston 1874)

I’ve been a mathematics instructor for over thirty years. I try to keep informed about new ideas in mathematics education – in what is taught as well as in how it is taught.

I’m active in academic governance at Massasoit. Currently I serve as the Chair of the Curriculum Committee.

I like to sew and to knit. I’m an avid reader of mystery and science fiction. I especially like to spoil my four grandchildren – John, Erica, Nate, and Luke.
