What I'll be doing for 2008-2009

I'll not be returning to BC, despite a professional relationship that's lasted 30 years, and an overall relationship that dates back to my undergraduate days at BC which began in 1968.

For 2008-2009, I have accepted a one-year position as a Visiting Professor at Salisbury University (Salisbury, MD). More news on this development when I have it!

What I was doing for 2007-2008

I enjoyed a year's sabbatical after completing six years as Chair of the Department.

My major project for this year was working with Paul R. Thie on An Introduction to Linear Programming and Game Theory, Third Edition, which will be published by John Wiley and Sons, Inc., this month (July, 2008). (We received the final cover design just last week.) I've also written some software to accompany the new edition that may be of interest.

I also worked with Gerald G. Bilodeau and Paul R. Thie on a second edition of their text An Introduction to Analysis, originally published by McGraw-Hill in 1997. We're hopeful to see this in print by the end of the year.

Finally, my regular band of coauthors and I started work on new (third) editions of Getting Started with Mathematica and Getting Started with Maple. We believe we'll finish these up around September and hope to see them in print in early 2009 with Wiley.
