I also have a number of
teaching modules published in the peer-reviewed
Journal of Online Mathematics and its Applications (joma.org)
by the Mathematical Association of America.
Research Interests
One of the deepest mysteries in physical science
is the origin of the apparent accelerated expansion
of the universe. The generic term given to what
appears to be an "anti-gravity" for the cosmos
is "dark energy". Designing the
optimal experiment to explore the nature of dark
energy and thereby possibly understand what it is
is the goal of the
SNAP collaboration.
We will do this by measuring the expansion history
of the universe over much of its lifetime.

this project

Teaching Interests
The list of courses I have taught at Penn is available
here
along with links to Web-based resources for each course. Many of the
links for past courses need permission to be viewed. They are available
upon request.
I also have an
online textbook written with Dennis DeTurck
that treats calculus and mechanics as a combined course.
Service
The list is too long to place here. See my
CV below for a partial list.

The version updated as of May 1 2010, is
