Bob Blake, Lee Cohen, Joaquin Borrego and I are supported by an interdisciplinary NSF grant ``Invigorating Undergraduate Education in Chemistry, Mathematics and Psychology via Wireless Technology'' to study the effectiveness of LearnStar on student achievement.  So far, I have integrated LearnStar competitions into Calculus I,  Computer Literacy for Elementary Education Majors, and even my graduate linear algebra course.  Results thus far have been extremely positive and have led to one paper, a one-hour talk at an international meeting, two one-hour workshops at the West Virginia Department of Education’s Higher Education Symposium, and a talk at the Joint Mathematics Meetings.

NSF Travel Grant

Roger Barnard and I are administering an NSF grant to support American involvment in the International Workshop on Quasiconformal Mappings and its Applications in Madras, India, and the International Conference on Geometric Function Theory, Special Functions, and Applications in Pondicherry, India.

Texas Education Agency

Jerry Dwyer, Gary Harris, Tara Stevens, and myself have just completed a TEA-sponsored project introducing middle school teachers to LOGO.  LOGO has been around for a long time, but its amazing how well it still captures the imagination of students (and teachers, too!).

TTU Research Enhancement Fund

I have also been supported by a seed grant from the TTU Research Enhancement Fund in my study of biomedical imaging using circle packings.
