■ : wonderful students who are in
volved and care about the Uni-
vefsity,” he said.
■Douglas began teaching math-
j 3matics at the University of Michi-
i?an in 1962 and also taught for
Many years at State University in
Nleiv York, but he said he does not
f pave time to teach at A&M because
nis|duties keep him busy.
JVIarc Ordower and Rongwei
ang, both mathematics gradu
ate students, said Douglas was
their adviser at Stony Brook, and
they followed him when I e
moved to A&M in 1996.
H^BYang said Douglas is easy to
talk to and helps students find
their own research style.
■Ordower said lie went to State
university to study under Dou
glas. He said Douglas has been a
leading voice in the 10-year-old
movement attempting to make
calculus instruction more applic
able to non-mathematics majors.
■I can’t imagine a better qual
ity in a provost than the capabil
ity to encourage students’ long-
term success,” Ordower said.
T Douglas has done research and
n lectures about his work on
mathematics methods as a visiting
professor at many different insti
tutes and universities, including
Mathematical Science Research In
stitute at Berkeley, Calif., Mittag-
Leffler Institute in Sweden and Aus-
“There is a much greater
sense of community here
which seems to include
everybody.”
RONALD DOUGLAS
EXECUTIVE VICE-PRESIDENT
AND PROVOST
TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY
mmmm
tralian National University.
“Most people don’t realize that
new ways of doing mathematics
and new kinds of mathematics
are constantly being discovered
and developed,” he said. “That’s
what research in mathematics is.
That’s what I’ve spent a good deal
of my career doing, apart from
being an administrator.”
Douglas has received re
search grants from the National
Science Foundation from 1963
to the present.
Douglas said A&M’s campus is
more friendly than State University.
“There is a much greater sense of
community here, which seems to
include everybody,” he said. “I think
it (sense of community) is one of the
strongest attributes that helps make
everything else work.”
Douglas said in the future, the
University will continue to de
velop liberal arts undergraduate
programs and plans to add a
music program as well as
strengthening programs A&M
already has.
He said at the graduate and re
search level, the University’s
challenge is to start some inter
disciplinary programs.
Douglas said the University is
large enough to offer programs in
many areas. However, he said
A&M cannot accommodate
everyone’s interests.
“We can’t be all things to all
people, so we do have to put em
phasis on certain kinds of areas,”
he said. “I don’t think we’re going
to fundamentally change A&M
in that respect. Filling in some
areas where we have gaps makes
sense, assuming we have the
money to do it. I don’t want to
build up new programs at the ex
pense of old programs.”
He said he enjoys being a part
of a university that has so many
interesting things going on.
“A&M is already a great uni
versity, but I believe we can make
it an even greater one.” he said.
“It’s exciting to have the opportu
nity to contribute to that.”
Stop talking about it.

Did you know...?
The earth’s lithosphere, its
outer rigid shell, is broken
into large plates that are
constantly colliding or
moving away from each
other.
It is the collisions of these plates that are responsible for most of
destructive earthquakes and volcanoes that occur worldwide.
