Past models have included differences as well as differential equations with either fixed or periodic coefficients. Current epidemic models include amphibian movement between ponds and competition\/predation amongst different species. I use theory as well as simulations to investigate the richness of the models.<br>Ongoing interdepartmental collaborative work includes studying dairy mastitis and forecasting modeling of downy mildew on onions.<br>Future directions in research include investigating the robustness of stability results, animal movement models, patch models studying the spread and control of influenza, and population genetics. Parallel algorithms and genetic algorithms will most likely be of great use in exploring these new topics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"162\" height=\"236\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/math\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/130\/2026\/09\/image.png\" alt=\"Effective teaching practice framework.\" class=\"wp-image-2663\" style=\"aspect-ratio:0.6864199165728663;width:67px;height:auto\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\" \/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile is-vertically-aligned-top\" style=\"grid-template-columns:27% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/math\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/130\/2026\/09\/Courtney-Holland-0398-medium-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Faculty headshot Courtney Holland.\" class=\"wp-image-2661 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/math\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/130\/2026\/09\/Courtney-Holland-0398-medium-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/math\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/130\/2026\/09\/Courtney-Holland-0398-medium-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/math\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/130\/2026\/09\/Courtney-Holland-0398-medium-267x400.jpg 267w, https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/math\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/130\/2026\/09\/Courtney-Holland-0398-medium-768x1151.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/math\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/130\/2026\/09\/Courtney-Holland-0398-medium-1025x1536.jpg 1025w, https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/math\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/130\/2026\/09\/Courtney-Holland-0398-medium-1366x2048.jpg 1366w, https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/math\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/130\/2026\/09\/Courtney-Holland-0398-medium-1568x2351.jpg 1568w, https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/math\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/130\/2026\/09\/Courtney-Holland-0398-medium-scaled.jpg 1708w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dr. Courtney Holland<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-tarleton-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-4 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Associate Department Head;

She holds a Bachelor of Science in Applied Mathematics, a master&#8217;s degree in Pure Mathematics earned in 2015, and a Master of Business Administration earned in 2026. Her background in both mathematics and business has strengthened her interest in connecting mathematical concepts to real-world business applications and helping students understand the relevance of mathematics to their future careers. Mrs. Salinas\u2019 teaching philosophy is centered on engaging students in the concepts of mathematics and creating an open and supportive learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, participating in discussions, and working through challenging problems. She believes that students develop stronger mathematical understanding and confidence when they are actively involved in the learning process rather than simply memorizing procedures. Through collaborative activities, practical applications, and meaningful connections between mathematics and business, she strives to help students see mathematics as a useful tool for analyzing problems, making informed decisions, and succeeding in their academic and professional careers.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\" \/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile is-vertically-aligned-top has-tarleton-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-54\" style=\"grid-template-columns:27% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/math\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/130\/2026\/09\/Kate-Sims-0344-0344-medium-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Faculty headshot Kate Sims.\" class=\"wp-image-2701 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/math\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/130\/2026\/09\/Kate-Sims-0344-0344-medium-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/math\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/130\/2026\/09\/Kate-Sims-0344-0344-medium-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/math\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/130\/2026\/09\/Kate-Sims-0344-0344-medium-267x400.jpg 267w, https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/math\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/130\/2026\/09\/Kate-Sims-0344-0344-medium-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/math\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/130\/2026\/09\/Kate-Sims-0344-0344-medium-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/math\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/130\/2026\/09\/Kate-Sims-0344-0344-medium-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/math\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/130\/2026\/09\/Kate-Sims-0344-0344-medium-scaled.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Kate Sims<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Instructor<br><\/strong>Email:&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:isalinas@tarleton.edu\">ksims1@tarleton.edu<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Office: MATH 107<br>Phone: 254-968-6115<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I graduated from Tarleton State University in May 2009 with a Bachelor\u2019s degree in Mathematics and a certification to teach 7\u201312 grade math. After graduation, I began working toward my master\u2019s degree in mathematics, but life had other plans and pulled me away for a while. I spent the next 12 years teaching at two different high schools, where I gained invaluable experience and a deeper love for education. I then returned to Tarleton as an academic advisor\u2014and it was during that time that I felt called to finish what I started. In December 2022, I proudly completed my Master\u2019s in Mathematics! I am currently seeking my PhD in experimental psychology<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"162\" height=\"236\"
