Long-form work in mathematics, operations research, education, and public policy.
2nd edition · 2025
This collection is for people teaching mathematics and statistics in online settings: not a manifesto for technology, but a practical account of the choices that make courses work. John Beyers and I brought together instructors and researchers writing about assessment, engagement, access, and the ordinary difficulty of helping people learn abstract material at a distance.

Natalie Scala and I edited this handbook around the fact that operations research in security is not confined to a recognizable class of textbook problems. The second edition gathers work on military and defense applications across analysis, data, cyber, decision-making, and the operational contexts that make those tools matter.

A numerical-analysis text written around R as the working environment. It follows the standard sequence—error, linear algebra, interpolation, integration, optimization, and differential equations—while keeping the algorithms close enough to run, inspect, and alter. The companion cmna package carries the examples beyond the printed page.

This policy study estimates the social value of the National Flood Insurance Program from 1996 through 2010. It considers consumer surplus, flood-mitigation benefits, distributional weighting, public revenue, and sensitivity analysis together, because a program with this many moving parts does not become clearer by pretending it has only one.
