Brief Biographical Sketch:

Well, I guess I like math, and I like people, and I like critical thinking... so why not teach about all of those, in " Critical thinking, mathematics, and how not to be fooled by the media".

I taught a similar class last year at Splash, and we all had a great time thinking about math and how it connects to society in new ways!
