Robert Gerver Ph.D.
Richard Sgroi Ph.D
Rob taught mathematics for 40 years at North Shore High School on Long Island, where he started and taught four sections of a finance curriculum in 1977. He is most proud of the fact that from remedial 9th grade programs to an award-winning mathematics research program, all of the books and journal articles he has authored were born and refined as a teacher “in the trenches” with thousands of high school students he enjoyed teaching over those 40 years.
Rich’s mathematics education career has spanned working with kindergartners through adults. At the school level, he has been a teacher, a chairperson, a 6-12 mathematics coordinator, and a K-12 mathematics director. At the college level, he has taught graduate and undergraduate mathematics and mathematics education courses. He has co-authored ten published mathematics textbooks and written numerous published journal articles. His interest is in finding ways to spark student interest and voice in mathematics through applications.
