Richard Palmaccio has been an educator in secondary schools for 48 years, beginning in the Wellesley MA public schools, continuing at Pine Crest School in Ft. Lauderdale, FL, where he was the mathematics department chairman, and presently at St. Sebastian's School in Needham, MA. He has published numerous articles in The Mathematics Teacher, the MATYC Journal, and the Mathematics and Informatics Quarterly through the years. He is currently Editor-In-Chief of the Mathematics and Informatics Quarterly which is published in Singapore for the international mathematics community. He published one of the first computer programs which simulates gravitational attraction between astronomical bodies for the IBM PC in 1984. Subsequently, he published a suite of programs in 1986 which essentially gave a computer the functionality of a TI 89 calculator in being able to produce graphs in four modes: XY coordinates, XYZ coordinates, parametric equations and polar coordinates. Previous books have been Problems in Calculus and Analytic Geometry published by J. Weston Walch, Portland, ME, Problems in Calculus, published by SCT Publishing in Singapore, and Problems in Geometry, also published by SCT Publishing.
