Frank Stenger, Ph.D.
Professor
School of Computing
University of Utah
Professor Stenger joined the Department in 1989. He is primarily a numerical analyst, although his over 150 publications scatter over many other areas of engineering and science, mostly in subjects related to computation. He has lectured at universities in 21 different countries.
An brief account of Frank Stenger's past and a summary of some of his research up to the present is given in Historical Remarks.
He is the primary developer of a new area of computation, called Sinc Methods. This is a close to optimally efficient, and self contained, family of methods of computation, which enables the computer solutions to hitherto difficult or impossible to solve problems.
He has recently authored a 565-page text, Numerical Methods Based on Sinc and Analytic Functions, which was published by Springer-Verlag, in 1993. For further information, click here
He has also co-authored a 349-page text, with M. Kowalski and K. Sikorski , entitled Selected Topics in Approximation and Computation, which was published by Oxford in 1995. The authors were awarded "First Prize" for the best scientific work in Poland in 1995. For further information, click here
The 304--page text entitled Sinc Methods for Quadrature and Differential Equations , by J. Lund and K. Bowers, which was published by SIAM in 1992 is an excellent exposition on this subject, especially for beginners. For further information, click here.
Professor Stenger's recreational interests include cooking, cross-country and down-hill skiing, skating, swimming, hunting and fishing, back-packing and hiking, the enjoyment of nearly all types of music (including playing harmonica, and recorders), bicycles and bicycling, building construction, watching an occasional great movie on television, watching hockey games, doing crossword puzzles, western dancing, playing bridge, playing golf, and (when he was younger) boxing, playing baseball, playing softball, playing football, playing hockey, and playing soccer.
He speaks several languages.
