I have always liked math. In school, I did peer tutoring and took classes with kids years older than me. At Bates College I triple majored in Math, Physics and Chemistry, and continued to do peer tutoring as my work study . As a graduate student I started teaching my own classes while attending many seminars and taking as many courses as I could. I earned my PhD in Mathematics in 2011 from Brandeis University studying Geometric Group Theory.
Statement:
Everything will be OK in the end.
Contra-Positive:
If everything is not OK, then it's not the end.
I have never stopped teaching. I spent five years with undergraduates (first at a small liberal arts college and a larger technical college), four years with adults at an online university, and most recently I was a classroom teacher for Math and Physics at an independent school outside of Boston for six years.
Diverging Mathematics is my solution to where we are today. Educators and students are now working in a world that is more superficial than ever before. Artificial Intelligence will only make this worse by cluttering the internet and muddying the water with simplistic answers. Our goal is to give students a safe place to explore and wrestle with things that are difficult to fully understand.
