Biografía del autor/a

David Fowler, University of Nebraska–Lincoln

David Fowler is an emeritus professor of mathematics education at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln (UN–L). He has an undergraduate degree in mathematics from Harvard College (1962) and PhD from UN–L in mathematics education and instructional technology (1991). His primary interests are in finding uses for emerging technologies in mathematics education, especially with the application Mathematica, developed by Wolfram Research, Inc. He has been a Wolfram Visiting Scholar at the WRI campus and was Editor-in-Chief of the journal Mathematica in Education and Research (Springer Verlag) from 1998 to 2002. At UN–L he chaired 19 doctoral students and 74 master’s students in mathematics or technology education. In 2011, he received the Milton Beckman Lifetime Achievement Award for Advancement of Mathematics Education from the Nebraska Association of Teachers of Mathematics. He first encountered the term “artificial intelligence” in 1960 in a course on mathematics and linguistics taught at Harvard College by Anthony Oettinger. The central problem posed in the course was machine translation, specifically from Russian to English. A promising approach at that time was to apply Markov processes to the new theories of syntactic structure being developed by Noam Chomsky.
