Research Interests

• Web-based Mathematics Education (WME)
• Web technologies (XML, Web services, protocols, server-side and slient-side scripting) and their applications to communication and interoperability of mathematics and support of mathematics education.
• Internet Accessible Mathematical Computation (IAMC)
• Many aspects of Symbolic Computation: polynomial algorithms, factoring, gcd, p-adic lifting, modular algorithms, linear algebra, integration, limits, complex analysis
• Parallel/distributed symbolic computation
• Efficient encoding and transmission of mathematical data among heterogeneous computing systems
• Combination and integration of science, design, and art for Web publishing
• Interfacing/combining symbolic, numeric, graphical computing
• Problem solving environments (PSE), Automatic code generation and its applications

Curriculum Development

In cooperation with Visual Communication Design, Paul has developed an interdisciplinary minor in Web Design and Programming. The minor has been approved in August 2003 for CS and VCD majors.

Coauthoring with Sanda Katila of Visual Communication Design, Paul has written and published a textbook, An Introduction to Web Design and Programming that is used to teach a core course in this minor.

Industrial and International Cooperation Activities

Research collaboration with Bernard Beauzamy (Paris France), Norbert Kajler (Paris France), Lian Li (Lanzhou University China), Zhuojun Liu (Academy of Science, Beijing China), Dongdai Lin (Academy of Science, Beijing China).

Paul is a member of the China-US Higer Education Relations Committee headed by Vice Provost Steve Michael of Kent State University.
