Biography

My work background since receiving my Master's degrees (Computer Science and Linguistics) has been in software. I've worn many hats (developer, project leader, program manager, business analyst), and in all of them, it's been most important to communicate complex information to other people. I've taught, I've tutored (people from grade school through grad school) informally.
I was a calculus whiz kid in high school, and I know how to talk with people who are learning something.

Finite Mathematics and Calculus with Applications

A box of oatmeal must contain 16 oz. The machine that fills the oatmeal boxes is set so that, on the average, a box contains 16.5 oz. The boxes filled by the machine have weights that can be closely approximated by a normal curve. What fraction of the boxes filled by the machine are underweight if the standard deviation is as follows?
$$0.5 \mathrm{oz}$$
