My name is Bruce Edwards and I have been a mathematics professor at the University of Florida since 1976. I was a mathematics major at Stanford University and graduated in 1968. I then joined the Peace Corps and spent four years teaching math in Colombia, South America. I returned to Dartmouth in 1972 and completed my doctorate in mathematics in 1976.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>My research interests include the broad area of numerical analysis. I am particularly interested in the so-called CORDIC algorithms used by computers and graphing calculators to compute function values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>I am also a textbook author with Roland Larson from Penn State University. We have published a large number of mathematics texts with Cengage Publishing: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.larsontexts.com\"> Larson Texts <\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Related to our textbooks, I have developed a few video lecture courses with The Great Courses (The Teaching Company). You can see more information about these courses at: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegreatcourses.com\/professors\/bruce-h-edwards\/\">  Great Courses <\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>My hobbies include reading, chess, stamps, simulation baseball games, SuDoku, KenKen, and travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>I hope you enjoy studying mathematics. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Bruce H.
