This page highlights material developed by Craig L. Zirbel, mostly while he was a Professor of Mathematics and Statistics at Bowling Green State University. Also see my main project and resource page at github.io.
Teaching college mathematics, a set of web pages especially suited for graduate students teaching for the first time (separate site)
Start programming, a set of exercises for math people who are learning to program, with selected solutions in various languages (separate site)
Lecture notes, from courses I have taught including calculus, linear algebra, probability, stochastic processes, and advanced probability
Activities that replace lectures, well-produced classroom activities, a kind of inquiry learning
Introduction to Statistics, some resources for the beginning of a course on introductory statistics
Calculus activities, a full set of classroom activities for Calculus I
Technology for teaching mathematics, has guides to LaTeX, JavaScript animations, and a few other things
Teaching remotely, video with real-time writing, smart-phone document camera each introduce skills for teaching remotely, developed in spring 2020
Dynamic programming, activities suitable for students of all ages, to teach the fundmental ideas of dynamic programming
Chess for beginners, has handouts for teaching a group of beginners how to play chess
Blackjack talk, slides from a talk I gave on the card game Blackjack in 2001, including optimal stopping (separate site)

Markov chain models for the spread of an infection in a population
Simple infection model where the infection probability stays constant over time
Time-dependent infection model where the probability of infection is proportional to the fraction of the population that is infected
Time-dependent infection model with vaccination and loss of immunity (not yet posted)
