ISU Experiences

From 21 August 2000 to 30 June 2002, I was a Visiting Associate Professor in the Mathematics Department at Iowa State University.

I was often to be found in the Math Computer Lab, doing online testing, computer exercises, and demonstrations for courses including:

• Math 10, Basic Algebra;
• Math 140, College Algebra;
• Math 141/142, Trigonometry and Analytic Geometry;
• Math 150, Discrete Mathematics;
• Math 166H, Honors Calculus II;
• Math 471, Numerical Analysis;

In the lab, we used various classroom, learning and testing programs including:

• ALEKS, a tutorial program;
• CBT, a computer-based training program.
• EDU, an online testing program. You may be able to examine the EDU server at ISU.
• WebCT, an online classroom system.

Janet Peterson, of the ISU Mathematics Department, conducted several REU's (Research Experience for Undergraduates). I helped open and close the first one, missed the second one entirely, and played a big part in the third one. For details, see

• REU 1998.
• REU 1999.
• REU 2001.
