About Our Author

Stu Schwartz has been teaching mathematics since 1973. For 35 years he taught in the Wissahickon School District, in Ambler, Pennsylvania, specializing in AP Calculus AB and BC. He has also taught at Chestnut Hill College in Philadelphia and Broward College in Fort Lauderdale. Mr. Schwartz received his B.S. degree in Mathematics from Temple University, Philadelphia.

Mr. Schwartz was a 2002 recipient of the Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics Teaching and also won the 2007 Outstanding Educator of the Year Award for the Wissahickon School District.

Mr. Schwartz is well-known in the AP community, having developed the website www.mastermathmentor.com, which is geared toward helping educators teach AP Calculus, AP Statistics, and other math courses. Mr. Schwartz is always looking for ways to provide teachers with new and innovative teaching materials, believing that it should be the goal of every math teacher not only to teach students mathematics, but also to find joy and beauty in math as well.

Mr. Schwartz lives with his cat, Newton, in Pompano Beach, Florida. He loves to bike and swim.

Thanks to my brother, Jerry, who originally kindled my interest in math and always manages to spot small errors in my work. Thanks also to my special friend and business partner, Ted Tyree, for always inspiring me and helping me feel that retiring provided me with an opportunity to share my enthusiasm for learning mathematics with the world.
