Education and professional work
He received his Ph.D. in Mathematics from Harvard University in 1984, under the supervision of Barry Mazur. After spending two years at the University of California, Berkeley, and one at the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute in Berkeley, he joined the faculty at the University of Arizona in 1987. 1989 he joined with a consortium of calculus Harvard, and is the lead author of the multivariable calculus consortium and algebraic text of the consortium. In 1993-1994, he spent a year at the Institut des Hautes ÃÆ' â € ° tudes Scientifiques, and in 1995-96 he spent a year at the Institute for Advanced Study on a Centennial Fellowship of the American Mathematical Society.
In 2006 he founded the Institute for Mathematics & amp; Education at the University of Arizona. He was the Director of the Institute until 2009 and began again in 2013. In 2009-2010 he was one of the lead authors for the Core General General Standards in Mathematics. His professional interests include the geometry of arithmetic algebra and mathematics education.
