Biography
Michael McAsey has taught over 25 different courses at all levels of the mathematics curriculum. "Even after teaching calculus many times, it is still fun to see students wrestle with the ideas and then arrive at an understanding of the fundamental ideas and applications of the subject." He has also directed several Senior Projects on topics ranging from wavelets to differential equations to optimization. Prof. McAsey's research included early work in operator theory and operator algebras to more recent work in applications of optimal control to economics and more theoretical aspects of optimization.
