Here are two old pictures from when I wore glasses and shaved!
For a recent picture look below or at my
vita.
I am now Professor Emeritus of Mathematics,
Electrical and Computer Engineering
at
The University of Texas at Dallas
(UTD).
For information on what I've been up to, you may want to take a
look at my
vita.
During the 2003-2004 Academic Year I was on
Special Faculty Development Assignment (Sabbatical).
I did research on Digital Signal Processing
software and hardware.
In addition, I wrote the below mentioned book on MIPS assembler.
The source code for the first edition of my
book "A Programmer's Guide to Assembler"
published by McGraw-Hill Custom Publishing, 2005
(ISBN = 0-07-353923-6)
is available as a "zipped" file by clicking
here.
For a complete ERRATA, click here .
The third edition, published in 2010, is ISBN 0-07340887-5
and includes corrections of all
those errors.
The code for programs in the first twelve chapters can be downloaded as above.
The code for programs in Chapter Thirteen may be obtained by clicking
on the names of the programs here:
There is a new (September 4, 2011) version (9.1.0) of
PCSPIM called QtSpim available through
https://sourceforge.net/projects/spimsimulator.
Older versions of PCSPIM are still available through
James R. Larus.
Another example of recursion beyond what is
in the text is available with code for
the classical
QuickSort.s
program.
I've worked in a wide variety of research areas.
For more detailed information, you may want to glance at my
list of publications.
I have directed Ph.D. dissertations in Mathematics,
Computer Science, and Electrical Engineering.
Most recently I have written the above mentioned book titled
"A Programmer's Guide to Assembler"
published by McGraw-Hill Custom Publishing, 2005
(ISBN 0-07-353923-6) and 2010 (ISBN 0-07340887-5).
Former work includes material for a Web-Based Course
in Symbolic Logic being supported by the University of
Texas System as part of the Multimedia Educational
Information Delivery initiative.
A draft preliminary version of the "Sophocles User's
Guide" is available
here.
Recently,
my main interest was
in the development of Digital Signal
Processing courses for Computer Science Students.
In addition, I hoped to develop an advanced
assembly language course based on a DSP chip.
Refer to
DSP for CS Students.
At present I am working on a workbook for ARM Assembler Programming.
Since 1953, when I first taught Freshman Calculus,
teaching has been an extremely important and
satisfying part of my career.
Since then I have taught almost every Mathematics course,
almost every Computer Science course, and even
some Electrical and Computer Engineering courses.
That diversity has kept me interested in continuing
to teach.
I divided my teaching effort between individual
instruction (such as working with
Ph.D. students) and teaching organized
courses.
I encourage students to come talk with me in my
office.
I will not, however, be taking on any more Ph.D. students
nor do I have any Research Assistantships available.
Please avoid the telephone since I usually
do not get such messages.
As Professor Emeritus I will neither be
teaching nor having regular office hours.

Well, actually, I missed it so much that I
offered EE/CE 2310 Spring 2012,
ENGR 3300 Fall 2012, and
CS 5349 Spring 2013.

I will often be in my office in ECSN4.626
but interested students should e-mail me
and make an appointment so as to be sure
I will be there at any particular time.
See the following for the home page of my Spring 2013 class: CS 5349

UTD Software
UTD has available quite a lot of
software for students.
For example,
the Adobe Acrobat reader and other
programs
needed for many courses may be
downloaded from
