About our authors Susan Colley is the Andrew and Pauline Delaney Professor of Mathematics at Oberlin College. She has served as chair of the department as well as editor of The American Mathematical Monthly. She received S.B. and Ph.D. degrees in mathematics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology prior to joining the faculty at Oberlin in 1983. Her research has primarily focused on algebraic geometry, particularly enumerative problems, multiple-point singularities, and higher-order data and contact of plane curves. Professor Colley has published papers on algebraic geometry and commutative algebra as well as articles on other mathematical subjects. She has lectured internationally on her research and has taught a wide range of subjects in undergraduate Mathematics. Professor Colley is a member of several professional and honorary societies, including the American Mathematical Society, the Mathematical Association of America, Phi Beta Kappa and Sigma Xi. Santiago Ca�ez is currently a Charles Deering McCormick Distinguished Professor of Instruction in the Department of Mathematics at Northwestern University and serves as its director of undergraduate studies. He received a B.S. degree in mathematics from the University of Arizona and a Ph.D. degree in mathematics from the University of California at Berkeley prior to joining the faculty at Northwestern in 2012. Professor Ca�ez works in symplectic geometry and mathematical physics and is in particular interested in groupoids and higher-order structures. He has taught a wide range of courses and has supervised numerous student theses and research projects. He is a member of the American Mathematical Society and the Mathematical Association of America. See less
