Math 414, Wavelets , in collaboration with Fran Narcowich.
The development involves the writing of a
A First Course in Wavelets with Fourier Analysis
book that is accessible to junior and senior undergraduate
mathematics, science and engineering majors.
Math 689, Advanced Placement Calculus course for high school teachers
- jointly developed with Mike Stecher.
Taught as a two-week summer course and more recently
as a one-week workshop (by Stecher).
A manual ,
integrating the use of the graphing calculator, was developed
for use in this course. A similar course was taught by Boggess
at Schreiner College in the Summer of 1995.
Significant restructuring of the content of
Engineering Calculus: Math
151,
152 and
251
to better
serve the needs of engineering. This is an outgrowth of the
discussions in the
Engineering/Science/Curriculum (chaired by the Associate Dean of
Engineering). Material on vectors
and differential equations is now covered earlier in the syllabus
for all sections of these courses.
Material on sequences and series is covered later.
A customized
version of
Stewart's Calculus text was written as part of this reorganization
in collaboration with James Stewart.
Development of the laboratory in Math 151 and 152 (Engineering
Calculus I and II), 1994 -.
A
laboratory manual was written in 1994 and was revised again in 1997
in view of the reorganization of the calculus sequence.
