From the Author:

Dr. Martin Sternstein is a long-time College Board consultant and has been a Reader and Table Leader for the AP Statistics exam for many years. He has strong interests in national educational and social issues concerning equal access to math education for all. For two years, he was a Fulbright Professor in Liberia, West Africa, after which he developed a popular “Math in Africa” course, and he is the only mathematician to have given a presentation at the annual Conference on African Linguistics. He also taught the first U.S. course for college credit in chess theory. Dr. Sternstein and his wife live in a house they designed and built with their own hands with the help of many of the math faculty. They have five delightful grandchildren.
