| Summary: | Bill is a graduate of Dartmouth College and holds a Ph.D. in Mathematics from New Mexico State. Over a span of 8 years, he taught 26 different courses in math and computer science at Penn State, Northern Illinois University, and Jacksonville (Florida) University. Then, after 2 years with Electronic Data Systems and 3 years with Texas Instruments, Bill founded William G. Quirk Seminars, where he offered consulting and educational services dealing with the human-factor side of interactive software design. Seminar titles included:
User Interface Design for IBM Mainframe Application Software
The Human Side of Software Quality
The User Side of Information Systems Design
How to Specify and Test for Software Usability
Participating organizations, totaling 226, included AT&T, Bank of America, Commonwealth of Virginia, Department of the Navy, Eastman Kodak, E F Hutton, Executive Office of the President of the United States, FDIC, Federal Reserve Board, General Electric, General Foods, Harvard Business School, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, J C Penney, MIT, Mobil Oil, NASA, National Institutes of Health, Securities & Exchange Commission, State of California, Texas Instruments, The Travelers, U.S. House of Representatives, and Xerox.
Alarmed by the breakdown of K-12 math education and the hard-to-believe philosophy of the NCTM, Bill is now working to counteract the anti-content "reformers" and build consensus for genuine math standards and an internet-based reengineering of American math education.
