Education
- Ph.D., Mathematics, University of New Mexico
- M.S., Mathematics, University of New Mexico
- B.S., Mathematics, Case Western Reserve University
Professional Background
Rick Cornez is involved in statistical consulting with industry, writing simulations to illustrate concepts in probability and statistics, and is in the process of coauthoring a programming text using ActionScript 3.0.
His research includes probability theory and applied mathematics, as well as Markov chains, discrete stochastic processes, and Monte Carlo methods. He has written simulation modules in MacroMind Director and Flash to demonstrate probability concepts. Along with colleagues Mike Bloxham and Steve Morics, he designed the University's Mathematics Consulting Laboratory course and presented a paper on it in South Africa.
