BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES OF THE AUTHORS
Herbert E. Salzer received his Ph.D. in applied mathematics from
Columbia University in 1953. He has 54 years of experience and research in
applied mathematics, computation and numerical analysis. Dr. Salzer has been
member of Pi Mu Epsilon for 60 years and he has 190 papers published.
Subhash C. Saxena received his Ph.D. in differential geometry from the
University of Delhi, India. Over the last 35 years, he has taught at several
universities in the United States. Dr. Saxena has published in the ~eas of
geometry, analysis, algebra and discrete mathematics. He is also the author of
a book entitled 'Introduction to Real Variable Theory.'
Michael Kinyon received his B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in mathematics
from the University ofUtah in 1986, 1988, and 1991, respectively. Since 1992,
he has been at Indiana University South Bend. His research interests focus on
using algebraic methods to understand differential equations, hyperbolic
geometry, and special relativity. His teaching interests include analysis,
differential equations, calculus, and students, not necessarily in that order.
Richard L. Francis is a professor of mathematics at Southeast Missouri
State University. He received a B.S. degree from Southeast Missouri State
University and master's and doctoral degrees from the University of Missouri
(Columbia). Major scholarly interests include number theory and the history of
mathematics. Previous articles in these areas of interest have appeared in the
publications of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, the American
Mathematical Society, Consortium for Mathematics and Its Applications, and the
Mathematical Association of America (from which he received the George Polya
Award). He, his wife Joyce, and three children, Richard Lee, Marie, and
Michael, reside in Cape Girardeau, Missouri.
Danica Nowosielski received her B.S. in chemistry and mathematics from
Russell Sage College, Troy, New York, in May 1996. Her change ringing work
was done as an honors project in mathematics during her senior year. Ms.
Nowosielski is now working towards a Ph.D. in physical chemistry at ..
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, New York. She is active in the
community as a musician on both piano and violin.
