About our authors Allen Angel received his BS and MS in mathematics from SUNY at New Paltz, and completed additional graduate work at Rutgers University. He taught at Sullivan County Community College and Monroe Community College, where he served as chairperson of the Mathematics Department. He served as Assistant Director of the National Science Foundation at Rutgers University for the summers of 1967 - 1970. He was President of The New York State Mathematics Association of Two-Year Colleges (NYSMATYC). He also served as Northeast Vice President of the American Mathematics Association of Two-Year Colleges (AMATYC). Allen lives in Palm Harbor, Florida but spends his summers in Penfield, New York. He enjoys playing tennis, watching sports, and traveling with his wife Kathy.
Christine Abbott received her undergraduate degree in mathematics from SUNY Brockport and her graduate degree in mathematics education from Syracuse University. Since then she has taught mathematics at Monroe Community College and has recently chaired the department. In her spare time she enjoys watching sporting events, particularly baseball, college basketball, college football, and the NFL. She also enjoys spending time with her family, traveling and reading.
Dennis Runde has a BS degree and an MS degree in Mathematics from the University of Wisconsin - Platteville and Milwaukee, respectively. He has a PhD in Mathematics Education from the University of South Florida. He has been teaching for more than 34 years at State College of Florida - Manatee - Sarasota. His interests include reading, history, biking, canoeing and cooking. He and his wife Kristin have raised 3 wonderful sons (Alex, Nick and Max), who each have earned a college degree and are successfully employed.
