Welcome

Dick JardineGreetings!  I have the good fortune to teach mathematics at Keene State College. As a Professor of Mathematics at Keene State, I stay very active teaching and working in service to the college.  As time permits, I stay professionally active as well.  When not working, there are a number of personal activities that keep me happily engaged.

 

 

 

A quote that resonates with me: “Doing mathematics is very much like running a marathon.  It does not require any special talent, and ‘finishing’ is largely a matter of wanting to succeed.”  Keith Devlin , The Math Gene , 1999.

A bit of philosophy relevant for students in my courses:

Tell me and I’ll forget; Show me and I may not remember;
Involve me and I’ll understand.  — Confucius
