    , colleagues say, was a successful grant that brought in money to build a computer laboratory for use in teaching calculus. Bryan’s interest in ancient mathematics led him to new algorithms for computing sines, cosines, and roots (square roots, cube roots, fourth roots, etc.). He incorporated these investigations into his courses and published his work in journals of the National Council for Teachers of Mathematics and the American Math Society. Bryan worked with his wife Celine Dorner – also an emeritus
