Biography
William C. Bauldry, Prof. Emeritus and Adjunct Research Prof. at Appalachian State University, received his PhD in Approximation Theory from Ohio State. He has published many papers on pedagogy and technology, often using Maple, and has been the PI of several NSF-funded projects incorporating technology and modeling into math courses. He currently serves as Associate Director of COMAP’s Math Contest in Modeling (MCM). He is the co-author (with William P. Fox) of Advanced Problem Solving with Maple: A First Course and Advanced Problem Solving Using Maple, both by CRC Press.
