Annalisa Crannell (Franklin and Marshall College)

Annalisa Crannell is a Professor of Mathematics at Franklin & Marshall College and recipient of the MAA's most prestigious teaching award, the 2008 Deborah and Franklin Tepper Haimo Award. Her primary research so far has been in topological dynamical systems (also known as "Chaos Theory"), but she is becoming active in developing materials on Projective Geometry applied to Perspective Art. She has worked extensively with students and other teachers on writing in mathematics, and with recent doctorates on employment in mathematics. She especially enjoys talking to non-mathematicians who haven't (yet) learned where the most beautiful aspects of the subject lie. She is co-author with Marc Frantz of the book Viewpoints: Mathematical Perspective and Fractal Geometry in Art.

 

Paul Zorn (past president of the MAA, St. Olaf College)

Paul Zorn is a professor of mathematics at St. Olaf College in Northfield, Minnesota.  Born, raised, and schooled through high school in India, he moved to the U.S. to attend Washington University in Saint Louis, majoring in mathematics and English.  He did his PhD, in several complex variables, at the University of Washington, Seattle, under the direction of Edgar Lee Stout.    Paul's professional interests include complex analysis, mathematical exposition, textbook writing, and the role of mathematics among the liberal arts.  In 1987 he received MAA's Allendoerfer Prize for an article, published in Mathematics Magazine, on the then-recently-proved Bieberbach Conjecture.  From 1996 to 2000 he was Editor of Mathematics Magazine.   He and a St. Olaf colleague,  Arnie Ostebee, co-authored several calculus textbooks.  His most recent book, Understanding Real Analysiswas published by AK Peters in 2010.
