"My father is a medical researcher, and I got hooked on math and science when I was young and would visit his laboratory. I remember doing simple calculations with him and using graph paper to plot data points for his experiments. He would then tell me what the peaks and features in the graph meant in the context of his experiment. I think that applications and hands-on experience made math come alive for me, and I’d like to see math come alive for my students.

Donna Gerken is a professor at Miami Dade College where she has taught developmental courses, honors classes, and upper-level mathematics classes for decades.
