Louie
Arnold writes about his chance meeting with Tryg Ager in
1988:
By way of background, in summer 1988,
I attended a "Conference on Computers in Physics
Instruction" at North Carolina State University in
Raleigh, NC. Mary Jo and I traveled there by car, and
did some sightseeing on the way. At that time, the use
of microcomputers in physics classes was just beginning.
This was before Windows, the Interned, email, and
Googling. Most of the education physics software was in
Basic.
Imagine my surprise on reading the
conference program when I came across the name Tryg Ager.
As I recall, Tryg was involved in a major project at
Stanford to develop microcomputer based calculus
instruction. The reason he was at the conference is that
the methodologies in physics and mathematics are quite
similar.
I got in touch with Tryg, and Mary Jo,
Tryg, and I went out for dinner and spent an enjoyable
evening together. As you can see from the photo, we are
identically attired in khakis and blue button down
collar shirts. This is the uniform for scientists at
summer "camp."
I am quite sure this was the first
time I had seen Tryg since 1959, and I haven't seen him
since - a chance encounter on our separate paths in
life. |

Claire, had as her last task in that office to arrange for
publicity for this event.
