I am a retired mathematics teacher with over 45 years of experience helping students to learn and enjoy mathematics and statistics. I have degrees in mathematics and mathematics education from Ball State and Purdue Universities. I view math as a puzzle and we simply need to determine what are the missing pieces so we can complete and understand the task.

...Nordic culture, so I decided to go there to study. I lived in Finland for 5 years and completed my doctorate in a field called Geometric Function Theory. Although it wasn't required for my studies, I learned the Finnish language while I was there. Finland is a wonderful country, and I will always cherish my time spent and the people I met there. I moved back to the USA after finishing my PhD, and I...

...learning happens much faster and more effectively, and doesn't feel like work. I endeavor to interest students in any topic (but especially math) by giving them a sense of a larger context. In particular, I love to bring college-level math concepts to students in a way anyone can understand, which often demonstrates WHY the math they're doing matters. It also shows that math can be just plain cool, which I don't think our curricula prioritize...

However, a great teacher does much more than merely recite the content of his subject. I intend to encourage and motivate each one of my students to perform academically, at a level no less than their very best, yet there is much more to teaching than just making certain that...
