Lineage, as listed by the, traces back through, and, the co-developer of calculus. Academic career. Larson and Hostetler signing first contract, 1976In 1970, Larson accepted a position of assistant professor at in. At the time, Behrend College was a 2-year branch campus of the university. In 1971, the Board of Trustees of the University met with the Behrend Advisory Board to announce Behrend College would become the first location outside University Park with the authority to develop baccalaureate program and confer degrees locally. During his first several years at the college, Larson was instrumental in developing a mathematics major at the college.

He served as a member of the University Faculty Senate and also as Behrend College's representative on the University Faculty Council. Larson was promoted to associate professor in 1976 and professor in 1983. Early in his career at Penn State, Larson started writing manuscripts for textbooks. He completed and submitted three manuscripts for calculus texts in 1973, 1974, and 1975.

Only to be rejected by several publishers. Larson relates his determination to continue writing in an essay titled A Single Dream. 'When was asked if she had been lucky in her career, she said 'When you have a single dream it is more than likely to come true-because you keep working toward it without getting mixed up.' Anyone who has been in my office knows that I am a Marilyn fan. But not just a Marilyn fan-I am a fan of the.' Finally, in 1976 he and his co-author, Robert P. Hostetler, obtained a contract from.

The first edition of their book was published in December, 1978. In 1995, Hostetler left the authorship team and was replaced by Bruce A. Edwards of the. Calculus by Larson and Edwards is now in its tenth edition. It is used worldwide and has been translated in several languages.During the academic year of 1983–84, Larson served as the acting division head for the Division of Science at Penn State Erie.In 1998 Larson was given the Distinguished Alumnus Award from Lewis and Clark College, Portland, Oregon.

Books Counting different editions, Larson has written over 400 titles. They are used by several million students each year in the United States, as well as by students in other countries.

Larson's books have received many awards – for pedagogy, innovation, and design. One of these awards was for developing the first completely interactive calculus textbook online. The work on this text was spearheaded by Larson's son, Timothy Larson. The online text, titled Interactive Calculus was posted in 1995. Another award was for innovation in page design. Beginning in 1990, Larson has written all of his mathematics texts to design, so that concepts and examples never break from page to page.

The eighth edition of won the 2005 Benny Award for the best cover in all categories of printing. The middle school series, Big Ideas Math, won the TAA in 2010 for excellence in secondary mathematics textbook publishing. Larson's textbooks have won awards from the Textbook Authors' Association (TAA) multiple times, including the McGuffey Longevity Award, the TAA Textbook Excellence Award, and the Most Promising New Textbook Excellence Award.Up until 1995, most of Larson's books were published by D.

These textbooks follow the new curriculum and practices specified by the. In addition to specifying a common curriculum in mathematics, the specifies eight Mathematical Practices that students should be taught. In keeping with this curriculum and practices, Larson has written a book titled Mathematical Practices, with examples of how teachers can implement the curriculum and practices in Grades K-8.Beginning in 2008, Larson Texts began a policy of having the content of its copyrights available free on the Internet. Currently, this policy applies to all of its 7 middle school titles, its 3 high school titles, and its title Math & You.Instructional software In 1992, Larson Texts formed a software division called Meridian Creative Group, later renamed as Larson Learning.

The division developed and sold tutorial mathematics software for grades K through 8. In 2005, Larson Learning was sold to Houghton Mifflin for $7 million. Larson, Ron; Robyn Silbey (1998).

The game is intended for Grades 2-8 and teaches operations involving whole numbers, integers, fractions, decimals, and rational numbers.Research During his first few years as an assistant professor at Penn State Erie, Larson continued to do research in the area of his dissertation.

His research resulted in the publication of several articles, mostly dealing with the lattice of topologies. By the mid-1970s, however, he switched his writing efforts to textbooks. Larson, R.
