Even- tually he went to Purdue where he earned his PhD. Dr. Holder enjoys starting his day with a two mile run. His other hobbies include traveling extensively in the United States and Europe, and an ambition to become fluent in French. In the past, Dr. Holder has taken advantage of sabbatical leave in order to do research at both Harvard and Cambridge Universities. Dr. Holder, at his publisher's request, is cur- rently utilizing his leave of absence to write a new calculus book, which will be his fifth book. Dr. Holder looks forward to continuing his teaching and to writing books which will en- able the student to better understand math- ematics.

She is a native of northwestern Pennsylvania, has degrees from Penn State, University of Illinois and Temple, and is married and has three children.
