Instructor's Interests

  1. Vector Optima: Maximizing a scalar is not the only optimum of practical interest. A monograph in Economics titled Portfolio Selection motivates this project area.

  2. Best Control: (A regulator is a physical control example.) Real systems that change over time: oil refineries, chemical processes, space systems require best control.

  3. Education Tools: Interactive scripts (graduates preferred). Undergraduates can contribute by building a web map.

  4. City Planning: Use computers to change human access re daily or occasional interaction with government, utilities, transportation, or recreation agencies/entities.

  5. Mathematics: Expand online modules for number base and Pythagorean theorem.
