Dr. Donnelly jumps during Lisa's demonstration.
Karen E. Donnelly, Professor
of Mathematics
Dr. Donnelly teaches a variety
of courses including Discrete Mathematics, Linear Algebra, Calculus III,
Mathematics as a Human Pursuit, Probability, Topics, and Differential Equations.
Laboratory work using technology, including calculators, MATLAB(TM), and
Maple(TM) for visualization, computation, and exploration is an important
component in her courses. She maintains web sites for her courses
and uses the Internet for research, projects, students journals, and presentations.
Dr. Donnelly has participated in several faculty development workshops
for activity-based mathematics and technology in the curriculum.

Philip F. Gilbert, CPPS, Associate
Professor of Mathematics, Department Chair
P.F. Gilbert teaches the mathematics
courses for elementary education and the methods courses for the teachings
of mathematics in secondary schools. His work also involves mathematics
courses for the mathematics major: Numerical Analysis and Number Theory.
Modern technology forms a regular part of the student's work in his courses.

Marge McIlwain, Asst. Professor
of Mathematics, Dean of Freshmen
Professor McIlwain has taught Calculus
I and II for more than ten years at the College. Students in both
classes use graphing calculators extensively; students in Calculus II use
the TI-92 Plus(TM) calculators throughout the course. Calculus II
students are assigned major applications projects in which they use data
collected using the CBL(TM) (Calculator Based Laboratory) system and curve
fitting using the TI-92 Plus. Professor McIlwain has stayed abreast
of the use of technology in mathematics through a variety of professional
faculty development seminars.
