 Since
1988 Terry has increasingly worked in fractal geometry and chaos
theory with a small international team of writers and researchers
headquartered at the University of Bremen in northern Germany.
His professional involvement with this team has resulted in
his presenting frequent keynote talks at NSF institutes, symposia,
and professional meetings especially relating to aspects of
dynamical systems. He has just completed an entire electronic
course focused upon a number of historical iteration patterns
that have gained renewed importance within the context of fractal
geometry. Since he enjoys computer programming for classroom
purposes, Terry has authored numerous educational computer software
packages for elementary, middle school, high school, and college
teachers. Along with his wife Ginny, Terry has two married children
and two grandchildren. He has been a long term member and very
active participant in a local evangelical church.
