Dr. David W. Stockburger is an Emeritus Professor of Psychology at Missouri State University, teaching
mainly graduate and undergraduate statistics courses. A baby-boomer,
he graduated with an undergraduate degree from Ohio University in
1969 and a master's and Ph.D. degree from the Ohio State University
in 1971 and 1975, respectively. His specialty area in graduate school
was mathematical psychology with a minor area of mathematical statistics.
He joined the faculty at Missouri State University in
1974 and has remained there ever since.
Dr. Stockburger has been introducing students to computers since
he began teaching at Missouri State University. Starting with card readers and hard-copy
printed output, moving to remote terminals, personal computers,
and finally to Internet-connected personal computers, he has exposed
students to computers at many different levels. Writing equipment
grants and serving as a faculty sponsor, he supervised a university
bulletin-board system from 1988 to 1994, introducing many students
and others in the community to a networked computer experience before
the Internet became fashionable.
He started writing an introductory statistics text in 1978 with
the eventual goal of distributing the text using computers. He made
his text available on the web in 1996 to demonstrate how this medium
could be used in education. Recently the second web edition of this
text is being distributed as a prototype college e-text by Atomic
Dog Publishing.
He enjoys traveling, hiking, golfing, and cooking. He is married
to LeAnna DeAngelo, who is a writer and Psychologist. She has recently
completed a book titled The Psychology of Germs and Contagion for
MIT Press.
