BIO:
Chuck Groetsch's primary educational interest is the integration of mathematics, history and physical science in the classroom. His research centers on the theory of approximation methods for ill-posed problems and he serves on the editorial boards of a half-dozen journals. Except for various visiting appointments in the U.S., Europe and Australia, he has been teaching at the University of Cincinnati for (too) many years. His most recent book is Inverse Problems: Activities for Undergraduates (Mathematical Association of America, 1999; Japanese translation, Science Press, Tokyo, 2002). Groetsch is a former head of the Department of Mathematical Sciences, quondam dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, and a past recipient of the MAA's George Polya Award for mathematical exposition.
