About Professor Bruce H. Edwards

Hello! 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.

My research interests include the broad area of numerical analysis. I am particulary interested in the so-called CORDIC algorithms used by computers and graphing calculators to compute function values.

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. Our Calculus textbook is available on the world wide web.

Related to our textbooks, I have developed a 36-lecture calculus course with the Teaching Company. You can see more information about this video course at Calculus Course.

My hobbies include reading, chess, stamps, simulation baseball games, SuDoku, KenKen, and travel.

I hope you enjoy studying mathematics. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
