What do you like most about teaching/working at Saint Michael's College? The smaller class sizes and the relatively relaxed relationship one can have with one's students. I appreciate the overall friendly atmosphere of the students and the faculty.

What is your favorite class to teach, and why? Calculus III. I very much like the material, which is the interplay of geometry and calculus. The power of mathematics to solve hard problems really begins to be evident in this class. And at this point, the students are for the most part very mathematically smart, motivated, and interested in the material.

Favorite quote: "It's the going, not the getting there, that matters."
