I have a new version of my CV available now. It contains several updates to the publications and talks lists: 
  • The two papers coming out in the ICTCM proceedings in 2011 are listed. 
  • The 45-minute talk/miniworkshop on MATLAB I am giving at the ICTCM in March is listed. 
  • I included an invited talk on the inverted classroom model that I gave at Franklin College's High School Math Day. The talk itself, in Prezi form, is here
  • Two talks I am giving at the upcoming Joint Math Meetings are listed. 
  • Two talks I am scheduled to give at next year's ASEE conference are listed -- my attendance at that conference is pending acquisition of funding, which is not a done deal at this point, but at least the talks were peer-reviewed and accepted. 
Thanks for following!
 
 
Lots of changes being made here at this website: 
  • A brand-new, totally rewritten Statement of Teaching Philosophy is up over on the Teaching page
  • An updated CV is up over on the Curriculum Vitae page
  • I removed the Google Voice widget. Nobody was using it, and it was really buggy. 

Enjoy!


PS: What are the units of measurement of a "slew"? 
 
 
Google Voice is a service that allows you to lump one or more of your existing phones under a single phone number. I'm on Google Voice, so you can call or text me. I've added a handy widget to the Contact page so you can do this directly from the computer. I think the way that it works is you click the widget, enter your name and phone number, and Google Voice will connect your phone with my GVoice account. Enjoy! 
 
 
I've just uploaded a newly-updated curriculum vitae to the Curriculum Vitae page. It includes a few formatting changes to make things easier to read and a number of additions reflecting the stuff that I've been doing since last year. Have a look! 
 
 

Here are a few recent and upcoming items that will eventually make their way into the CV:

• I've been named to the editorial board of Mathematics Exchange, a journal of undergraduate research published through Ball State University. My role on the board will be mainly to recruit undergraduates to publish their stuff and to recruit mathematicians to referee, and possibly to do a little refereeing myself. Math Exchange is a great journal, very well-suited for undergraduates doing any kind of research or independent study, and I'm excited about forming this relationship with the fine folks who put that journal out.

• I found out last week that I will definitely be attending the International Conference on Technology in Collegiate Mathematics this coming March. I went to the ICTCM last year and had a fabulous time. I'm currently vetting some ideas for talks and workshops to give at the ICTCM this year, and once I get those figured out and submitted, they'll be added to my CV.

• And speaking of Ball State, I've been invited to come up there in the spring and give a mathematical talk. I'll be talking either about digital signatures like I did at Benedictine University last April or about my work with cycle decompositions of columnar transposition ciphers.

 
 

I've added links to my accounts on Scribd and Slideshare to the web presence page. Scribd and Slideshare are like YouTube for documents and presentations,  respectively. Enjoy!

 
 

I've added a Statement of Scholarship which can be viewed, searched, downloaded, embedded, etc. over on the new "scholarship" page. Or, click here.

Sometimes these kinds of documents are called "Research Statements", but since my view on scholarship is broader than the typical notion of research (read: "publish or perish") I decided to call it something a little more inclusive of the sorts of things I do.

 
 

I've just added a Teaching Statement (a.k.a. Statement of Teaching Philosophy) to the site here, and you can access on the newly-created teaching page. You can view it using the Scribd viewer -- a nifty little web gadget that also lets you save, print, and search the document -- or download a PDF straight from the link.

The Statement of Scholarship referred to at the end of the Teaching Statement is still under construction -- hopefully it will be done by the end of the week.
