About the Author

Ricardo Fierro received a Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics from the University of California, Davis, and a Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). He was awarded the President's Dissertation Year Fellowship while completing his Ph.D. at UCSD, and the President's Postdoctoral Fellowship at University of California, Los Angeles, where he continued his research. He has been a faculty member in the Department of Mathematics at California State University San Marcos (CSUSM) since 1992.
