Who I am... I am
a Michigan native, professor of mathematics at Albion College with a 02001
Ph.D. in mathematics from Central Michigan
University and previous higher education at Northwestern University and The University of Michigan.
My dissertation is in combinatorial and algebraic number theory;
I am also interested in mathematics history, mathematical
comedy, chaos theory, probability,
old (and new) calculators, and really really large
numbers.
Of late, I've been working and writing in the field of gambling mathematics. My books Basic Gambling Mathematics; The Numbers Behind The Neon (02014), Mathematics of Keno and Lotteries (02018), Mathematics of Casino Carnival Games (02020), and Mathematics of the Big Four Casino Table Games (02021) have all been published by CRC Press/Taylor & Francis. I am currently at work on a second edition of BGMNBN, which should be out in the fall of 02023.
