Bio

I am a tenured mathematics professor at Ithaca College, holding a PhD in math (stochastic processes), an MS in applied statistics, an MS in math, a BS in math, and a BS in exercise science. I consider myself an accidental academic. I am a gardener, drummer, rower, runner, inline skater, 46er, and R user. I’ve written the textbooks R for College Mathematics and Statistics and Applied Calculus with R. I welcome any collaborations, and I’m open to job offers (a full vita is available on my Faculty webpage).

Teaching with Real Data

The Teaching with Real Data project collects real-world data from sources such as scholarly journals and government agencies for use in statistics and data science courses. The data sets can be sorted by uses to make it easier for educators to identify data sets that fits their needs. If you are looking for real data for a specific topic in your stats or data science course this is the place.
