Author Biography

Marge Lial ?(late) was always interested in math; it was her favorite subject in the first grade! Marge's intense desire to educate both her students and herself has inspired the writing of numerous best-selling textbooks. Marge, who received bachelor's and master's degrees from California State University at Sacramento, was affiliated with American River College. An avid reader and traveler, her travel experiences often found their way into her books as applications, exercise sets, and feature sets. Her interest in archeology lead to trips to various digs and ruin sites, producing some fascinating problems for her textbooks involving such topics as the building of Mayan pyramids and the acoustics of ancient ball courts in the Yucatan.

Raymond N. Greenwell? earned a B.A. in Mathematics and Physics from the University of San Diego, and an M.S. in Statistics, an M.S. in Applied Mathematics, and a Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics from Michigan State University, where he earned the graduate student teaching award in 1979. After teaching at Albion College in Michigan for four years, he moved to Hofstra University in 1983, where he currently is Professor of Mathematics.

Raymond has published articles on fluid mechanics, mathematical biology, genetic algorithms, combinatorics, statistics, and undergraduate mathematics education. He is a member of MAA, AMS, SIAM, NCTM, and AMATYC. He has served as governor of the Metropolitan New York Section of the MAA, as well as webmaster and liaison coordinator, and he received a distinguished service award from the Section in 2003. He is an outdoor enthusiast and leads trips in the Sierra Club’s Inner City Outings program.

Nathan P. Ritchey ?earned a B.A. in Mathematics with a minor in Music from Mansfield University of Pennsylvania. He earned a M.S. in Applied Mathematics and a Ph.D. in Mathematics from Carnegie Mellon University. He is former chair of the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Youngstown State University and is currently serving as the dean of the College of Science and Health Professions at Edinboro University. He has published articles in economics, honors education, medicine, mathematics, operations research, and student recruitment. Nate is a Consultant/Evaluator for the North Central Association's Higher Learning Commission and regularly participates in program evaluations.

In recognition of his numerous activities, Nate has received the Distinguished Professor Award for University Service, the Youngstown Vindicator's "People Who Make a Difference Award," the Watson Merit Award for Department Chairs, the Spirit in Education Award from the SunTex corporation, and the Provost's Merit Award for significant contributions to the Honors Program. 

Katherine Ritchey earned a B.A. in Mathematics from the University of Notre Dame. She earned a Ph.D. in Mathematics from The Ohio State University, and her research interests include combinatorics and graph theory. While at OSU, she began her lifelong dream of teaching mathematics and was awarded several graduate student teaching awards. She is currently an Assistant Professor of Mathematics at the University of Mount Union in Ohio. 

Blain A. Patterson earned a BS in Mathematics Education with a minor in Mathematics from Youngstown State University. He earned both a MS and PhD in Mathematics Education from North Carolina State University. He is currently an Assistant Professor of Applied Mathematics at Virginia Military Institute. He has published articles in various mathematics and education journals on mathematics teacher education, learning disabilities, middle school mathematics education, and cryptography. Blain is currently a Project NExT Fellow (Brown '20) and an active member of MAA, SIAM, SIMIODE, and AWM. When he is not thinking about mathematics, Blain enjoys spending time outdoors with his dogs and playing board games. 

Sarah Ritchey Patterson ?earned a B.S. in Mathematics and Computer Science from Youngstown State University. She earned a Ph.D. in Mathematics from Duke University. Sarah is currently an assistant professor at the Virginia Military Institute. Her research interests include computational fluid dynamics, fluid-structure interaction problems, and mathematical modeling. Sarah actively advises undergraduate research projects and uses this perspective to enhance her teaching and the textbook.
