   Nancy Crisler, M.Ed. from the University of Missouri-St. Louis, has taught students at the high school and college levels. She served as a Curriculum Supervisor in the St. Louis area for ten years and has more recently been working with the Consortium for Mathematics and Its Applications (COMAP) as a writer and staff developer, in addition to teaching at Washington University in St. Louis. She is a Presidential Awardee in Mathematics from Missouri, has been involved with the NSF/COMAP high school curriculum, Mathematics: Modeling Our World (W.H. Freeman, 1998), and has co-authored several books, including Discrete Mathematics through Applications (W.H. Freeman, 2000) and Developing Mathematics through Applications: Elementary and Intermediate (Key College Publishing, 2003).
Gary Simundza, M.S. from the University of Rochester, is Professor of Mathematics at Wentworth Institute of Technology in Boston, where he has taught mathematics and physics for over 30 years. As director of the NSF-supported “Mathematics for Technology” project, he led an interdisciplinary team of faculty in creating a set of extensive laboratory activities for college mathematics, which has been published as Precalculus Investigations: A Laboratory Manual (Prentice Hall, 1999). He is a co-author of Developing Mathematics through Applications: Elementary and Intermediate.
