I was a high school mathematics teacher at Spring Lake Park High School (SLP, MN) for 40 years. I taught a variety of courses and filled numerous extracurricular roles. Currently, I am the Executive Director of the Minnesota State High School Math League.
I dabble recreationally in mathematics, trying to extend or create novel mathematical ideas. In 1995, I believe I was the first to propose a new coinage system, with the dime being an 18 cent piece.
The idea of a non-self adjacent path was originated by me and then explored extensively by Christopher Hunt Gribble. Currently, I am working on n-cell tiling of an n X n square
My contributions of ideas include:
A014062 a somewhat irrelevant comment on an application of the sequence A047838 Definition of the organization number of a sequence. More so, the disorganization A051437 Contribution of a paper on quilt pattern symmetry that produced the same values as the defined sequence on undirected walks A165217 a conjecture as to the formula for the even entries in the sequence A320422 number of tiles inside a regular n-gon created by diagonals that run from each of the n vertices to the n-2 midpoints of opposite edges A179094 the disorganization of numbers in an n X n array A320431 The number of tiles inside a regular n-gon created by lines that run from each of the vertices of the n edges orthogonal to these edges. A178842 Number of ways to place n objects in an (n-1) X (n-1) array (e.g., the number of ways to arrange stars in a flag's field pattern). A363381 a(n) is the number of distinct n-cell patterns that tile an n X n square. A364607 the best 4-coin system for change for a dollar
Several entries by Christopher Gribble about non self adjacent paths which sprang from an idea I proposed. He gives credit to me in the introduction of his Wiki page
