Dr. Karrolyne Fogel, Cal Lutheran UniversityI am an Associate Professor of Mathematics at California Lutheran University. In my past, I served as the department chair and on the board of editors for the Young Mathematicians' Network. I have supervised numerous senior capstone projects and am one of the faculty who serves as the capstone class instructor. I routinely accompany students to mathematics conferences such as the PCUMC and So Cal-Nevada MAA section meetings. A strong interest in the transition between arithmetic and algebraic thinking in has led me to develop a series of math enrichment lessons that I lead in a local elementary school. website email |
