Yikes, what do I owe?!

News of large bail-outs continue to be in the news.  What is the effect on the National dept?  When there is talk that involves numbers in the billions and trillions, it is difficult to get any real meaning out of the figures, yet it is in our countries interest for people to understand them. The link below was designed to help you understand the numbers. 

Note:  This data is from September 2008.  The numbers are changing too fast to make this page worth keeping up to date at this point. The link will still give you a good feel for the numbers.

Yikes...Click here to use some math to better understand the national dept!


 

 

 

Student Research topics:

My area of specialty is Harmonic Analysis.  This is a topic that students can study after some background in Real Analysis or Mathematical Physics and Linear Algebra.  Several of my papers can be read by looking at my Professional Background page below.  I would recommend that students begin by reading my paper on the mathematics of how compact discs are made, Using the Shannon Sampling Theorem to Design Compact Discs, published in the UMAP Journal. 

I have also started doing some work in Math History.  If these topics are of interest to you, stop by and talk to me about them.

I am one of the coordinators for the UW-L Girls in Science program.  Girls in Science is sponsored by the UW-La Crosse College of Science and Health and Continuing Education/Extension. It is a two-day program each summer for about sixty academically gifted girls who have just finished grades 5-7.  The girls participated in several hands-on workshops taught by UW-L science and mathematics faculty.  For more information on this program, you can contact me or Continuing Education at UW-L.
