About the Author

Jeff Suzuki is Professor of Mathematics at Brooklyn College. During the pandemic, he missed a meeting and was elected Department Chair. Prior to that time, he has written on the history of mathematics; the uses of mathematics in constitutional law; and the mathematics behind recent patents. His educational videos on mathematics and other random subjects may be found on his YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/jeffsuzuki1. His current work includes devising best practices for giving online exams and coauthoring an inquiry-based approach to abstract algebra.
