Teaching and Scholarly Interests
Professor Riddle's interests include calculus, differential equations, courses incorporating the use of Maple, dynamical systems, and the history of women in mathematics. His website on Biographies of Women Mathematicians profiles the numerous achievements of women in the field of mathematics. His interest in the use of technology in teaching mathematics has lead him to develop a software program called IFS Construction Kit for teaching about the fractals associated with iterated functions systems.
