Bruce H. Edwards, Ph.D.
Professor of Mathematics, University of Florida
Bruce H. Edwards has been a Professor of Mathematics at the University of Florida since 1976. He received his B.S. in
Mathematics from Stanford University in 1968 and his Ph.D. in Mathematics from Dartmouth College in 1976. From
1968 to 1972, he was a Peace Corps volunteer in Colombia, where he taught mathematics (in Spanish) near Bogotá, at
La Universidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombia.
Professor Edwards’s early research interests were in the broad area of pure mathematics called algebra. His dissertation
in quadratic forms was titled “Induction Techniques and Periodicity in Clifford Algebras.” Beginning in 1978, he
became interested in applied mathematics while working summers for NASA at the Langley Research Center in
Virginia. This led to his research in the area of numerical analysis and the solution of differential equations. During his
sabbatical year 1984–1985, he worked on 2-point boundary value problems with Professor Leo Xanthis at the
Polytechnic of Central London. Professor Edwards’s current research is focused on the algorithm called CORDIC that is
used in computers and graphing calculators for calculating function values.
Professor Edwards has coauthored a wide range of mathematics textbooks with Professor Ron Larson of Penn State Erie,
The Behrend College. They have published leading texts in the areas of calculus, applied calculus, linear algebra, finite
mathematics, algebra, trigonometry, and precalculus. This course is based on the bestselling textbook
Calculus
(9
th
edition, Brooks/Cole, 2010).
Professor Edwards has won many teaching awards at the University of Florida. He was named Teacher of the Year in the
College of Liberal Arts and Sciences in 1979, 1981, and 1990. He was both the Liberal Arts and Sciences Student
Council Teacher of the Year and the University of Florida Honors Program Teacher of the Year in 1990. He was also
selected by the alumni affairs office to be the Distinguished Alumni Professor for 1991–1993. The winners of this 2-year
award are selected by graduates of the university. The Florida Section of the Mathematical Association of America
awarded him the Distinguished Service Award in 1995 for his work in mathematics education for the state of Florida.
Finally, his textbooks have been honored with various awards from the Text and Academic Authors Association.
Professor Edwards has been a frequent speaker at both research conferences and meetings of the National Council of
Teachers of Mathematics. He has spoken on issues relating to the Advanced Placement calculus examination, especially
the use of graphing calculators.
Professor Edwards has taught a wide range of mathematics courses at the University of Florida, from first-year calculus
to graduate-level classes in algebra and numerical analysis. He particularly enjoys teaching calculus to freshman, due to
the beauty of the subject and the enthusiasm of the students.
