Ron Morgan, Ph.D.
Professor of Mathematics Undergraduate Advisor
Education
Ph.D., University of Texas
Academic Interests and Research
Dr. Morgan's research interest is numerical analysis, more specifically large linear equations and eigenvalue problems. Some matrices are large enough and scary enough, computationally speaking, to be called Monster Matrices. See Personal Webpage for more info.
