Visiting Instructor Position in Computer Science (2004-2005)
From the Keyboard
So where were you twenty years ago? And what computer were you using? Were you waiting for batch output from an IBM 360/370? Cutting your teeth on Digital's powerful but complicated VMS command-line? Perhaps you had found the "Unix light" and you were piping your first commands together? Or maybe you were one of the few who had a personal computer at home running Microsoft's MS-DOS? Were you or your children writing LOGO programs to move the turtle around the green Apple IIe monitor?
January 24, 2004 is the twenty year anniversary of the release of the Apple Macintosh. It was a revolution in computing that continues to affect every discipline. In particular, the Macintosh (the "Mac") introduced the Graphical User Interface (GUI). What Volkswagen did to the dashboard, Apple and their predecessors at Xerox Parc did to the computer. Ah, the power of icons.
But what is next and how does our pedagogy keep up? Our students assume and demand more interactivity and thereby, more computational power. From rotating 3-D images in Maple to voice activated devices, there seems to be no end to the culture's desire for more: more bandwidth, more speed, more graphics, more interactivity. Teaching in this culture presents interesting demands on the faculty. Here in the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, we enjoy the task of keeping technologically current with and just ahead of our students; however, we have not lost sight of our mission to mentor and challenge our students to be critical thinkers and problem solvers. Our faculty show by example both in and out of the classroom that a love for and willingness to "study, learn, and adapt" will serve them well as they move beyond Wheaton College. Beyond the graphics and Giga-everything, a walk down our hallway in the middle of the semester shows how small groups of students and professors with paper and pencil and the chalkboard most adequately define mathematics and computing at Wheaton.
Welcome to our seventh issue of our department online mag. In our alumnae/i slot, we feature two "lovers of Macs": Glen Aspeslagh 2000 and Ken Aspeslagh 2000. We graduated a strong group of majors last year (2003), some who have headed off to graduate school. As always, we share how our department faculty continue the trend of securing new grants, publishing their research results and pedagogical innovations, and generating undergraduate research opportunities.
Thank you for your responses to our previous issue. Send us an email ... we'd love to hear from you. Enjoy v5.0 of The Integral!
Our Alumnae/i
We highlight two recent alumni, Ken and Glen Aspeslagh, Class of 2000.
As shown in the photo above, Glen and Ken, twin brothers, have been "Mac lovers" from way back. (Ya gotta love those PJs!). I caught up with them online recently ....
Ken Aspeslagh, Class of 2000
Professionally, my day job is at Avid Technology, Inc. in Tewksbury, MA. They make software, hardware, storage, and integration tools for video editing, post production, and broadcast news. It's a great company to work for with a lot of good people. I've just transitioned into a different team where I'll be working on Avid's next generation media storage software. When I'm not at Avid (any time between 5:30 PM and 9 AM) I can be found in front of my laptop, either at home, at Glen's house, or in a coffee shop in the city working on Ecamm Network (http://www.ecamm.com/).
Early in our Wheaton College career, spurred on by a broken Palm Pilot leant to us by Professor LeBlanc, Glen discovered that if you write useful and/or fun software, and charge a reasonable price, you can make a real business out of it. And we've done just that. Our site now offers more than a dozen software products which can be instantly purchased via credit card. Running our own software business has been very educational and extremely interesting. It's exciting to know that people are actually using our products. There are many interesting aspects of running an internet software company. For one thing, it is just the two of us doing everything. We handle the research, software development, testing, customer support, sales, the website, finance, etc. There is no way for customers to know, however, that it is just a two man show. Many customers assume they are reaching someone different when they write sales@ecammm.com vs. support@ecamm.com. Another important thing about an internet software business is that there are extremely high margins. We have almost no operating expenses. When someone buys a program from us, they receive no physical product.
Glen Aspeslagh, Class of 2000
I spend my days at PatientKeeper, Inc. writing C code, designing software, and working with people. PatientKeeper develops handheld medical software for use by doctors in hospitals. We provide patient info, billing, lab results, vital signs, order status and more, all on a Palm or Pocket PC handheld. My job is getting all of the information on and off the Palm Pilot and writing the programs to display the information. Other challenges include security, making the Palm go fast enough, and figuring out exactly what doctors want to see. The company was founded in 1997 and after a period of slow growth is now well on its way to becoming a mobile healthcare leader. In my spare time, I work with Ken on Ecamm Network, the company that I founded in 1999. We sell Palm and Mac software through our website. We've learned a lot about how to run a small company: support, marketing, finances and e-commerce. We're just learning as we go.

This year's Norman Johnson Lecture was delivered by Doris Schattschneider, Professor Emerita at Moravian College. Her talk was entitled: "Ingenious mathematical amateurs:∫ M.C. Escher (artist) and Marjorie Rice (homemaker)".
It is generally believed in the mathematical community that it is impossible today for someone without formal credentials in mathematics to engage in mathematical research or to make any contributions to mathematics. Yet there are subjects with open problems that need no accumulated mathematical arsenal to understand and to attack. It is even possible that someone innocent of training may have fresh insight that leads to fruitful results. I offer two recent examples to illustrate this phenomenon-one the well-known Dutch graphic artist, M.C. Escher, and the other an unknown San Diego homemaker, Marjorie Rice. Each tackled problems that ask which types of shapes can tile the plane, and in what manner.∫ It is illuminating to see how each made the mathematical problems their own, asking questions in a way that made sense to them, without particularly caring how mathematicians might approach the problem. Each worked alone, essentially in secret, rewarded by the exhilaration of finding some answers to a large puzzle. It is interesting to contrast their questions and methods with those of mathematicians and scientists who have investigated similar questions. The professionals can learn something from the amateurs.
A long-time friend and unofficial member of our department,
Nancy Norton, died on July 13, 2003. With degrees from Bryn Mawr and Radcliffe colleges, Norton arrived on the Wheaton campus in 1953 as an instructor in the History Department. In 1969 she achieved the rank of full professor, and held the William and Elsie Prentice Chair from 1979-1982 in recognition of her fine teaching. She also was Assistant Dean of the college from 1958 to 1965. She retired from Wheaton in 1987, but never really left the Wheaton community, returning to campus often for classes, lectures and to welcome new members of the faculty. Norton was an avid sports enthusiast and participant, twice playing in the U.S. Nationals at Forest Hills, N,Y. She was awarded the United States Lawn Tennis Association Service Bowl in 1950, is a member of the USA Tennis New England Hall of Fame, and in 2001 was elected to the New England Women's Sports Hall of Fame. She also was a long-time Boston Red Sox and Boston/Atlanta Braves fan, and was especially supportive of Wheaton's athletic program, traveling to games home and away whenever possible.

Anne F. O'Neill, retired Mathematics faculty member, died in 2003. Born in Troy, N.Y., on August 21, 1915, she was the daughter of the late Dennis and Sarah (Strong) O'Neill. She received a bachelor of arts degree from Vassar College in 1938 and received a Ph.D. from Radcliffe College in 1942. Professor O'Neill taught Mathematics at Wheaton College from 1942 until her retirement.She was a member of Phi Beta Kappa and Sigma Psi, the American Mathematical Society, and the Math Association of America.
Released with much fanfare in January of 1984, the Macintosh was the first affordable computer to include a Graphical User Interface. It was built around the new Motorola 68000 chip, which was significantly faster than previous processors, running at 8 MHz. The Mac came in a small beige case with a black and white monitor built in. It came with a keyboard and mouse, and had a floppy drive that took 400k 3.5" disks--the first personal computer to do so. It originally sold for $2,495.

2003 Graduates
Three of our top graduates, Greg Williams, Adam Villa, and Julie Robinson, received our highest awards:
Fred Kollett Award in Mathematics and Computer Science
Gregory Williams '03, Computer Science
Greg was a tremendous student of Computer Science.
His knowledge and enthusiasm for learning served him well as the design leader of a
three-person team that wrote novel software and for completing a technically
challenging honors thesis. His strong liberal arts background shows through in
his excellent writing, both for the aforementioned thesis and for portions of a
paper that have been published in a scientific journal.
In addition, Greg was also a Philosophy minor, showing his range of interests.
His service included work with revamping the suite of servers for the college radio station.
Greg is currently applying to CMU's Philosphy department, for
their program in
Logic, Computation, and Methodology
Adam Villa '03, Computer Science
Adam showed by example what it means to foster the integration of
research and education, advance diversity in science, and enhance scientific
and technical understanding. From his work teaching children at the Museum of
Science to his tutoring and leadership in the campus Science House to his management
experience with student peers to his consulting and tutoring of retired faculty,
Adam has experiences that cover a broad range of ages, skill levels, and ethnic
backgrounds. His minor in French and his full-throttle thirst to learn took him to
France for a semester where he experienced first-hand what it means to live and learn
in a global community. His honors thesis in genomics was an impressive culmination of
his work in the classroom and research lab. Adam is presently a first-year graduate
student in the Computer Science PhD program at the University of New Hampshire.
Madeline Clark Wallace Prize in Mathematics
Julie Robinson, (double major) Mathematics, Economics
We were delighted to bestow the Madeleine Clark Wallace award in

Meet the Faculty
Our department staff currently numbers 8 full-time members and two part-time members, all PhD's. In addition to sharing our faculty highlights, a special welcome to Harrison (Chuck) Straley as he joins our department.
Chuck Straley
Harrison Straley, better known as Chuck, joins the Wheaton Mathematics and Computer Science Department as Quantitative Analysis Associate. Chuck's over forty year career includes teaching mathematics at most grade levels from kindergarten through graduate school. He will teach Concepts of Mathematics and Introductory Statistics and help Mike Kahn develop the Quantitative Analysis Learning Center. Chuck's research interests include mathematics education especially discovery learning and mathematics history. He, his wife and his son recently completed their second play "Isaac Newton, A Dramatic Lecture" and Chuck performed this play as keynote speaker at two mathematics conferences in Texas. Students in his fall Concepts class had the opportunity to produce their first play "The Discovery of Calculus, Wilhelm Leibniz versus Isaac Newton" for the Wheaton community. Both plays have been placed in the public domain in an effort to encourage teachers to use drama and mathematics history to motivate students to learn and study mathematics. Dr. Straley received his undergraduate degree from the University of Richmond, his masters from Emory University and his doctorate from the University of Virginia. His main hobbies are camping (RV style) and playing tennis (he was a national caliber player in the 50s and 60s).
In addition, Chuck is Assistant Director of the Mathematics Olympiad Summer Program. This program sponsored by the Mathematical Association of America prepares the country's best high school mathematics students to represent the United States at the annual International Mathematics Olympiad.
