About the Author, Geoffrey C. Berresford

Dr. Berresford received his Ph.D. from the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at New York University and taught at the State University of New York at Purchase before joining the faculty at the C.W. Post campus of Long Island University. Besides co-authoring four textbooks with Dr. Rockett, he has published papers in differential equations, linear programming, logic, and probability, and has recieved several teaching awards and the Distinguished Service Award from The Metropolitan New York Section of the Mathematical Association of America.

After completing his Ph.D. at Stony Brook University, Dr. Rockett joined the mathematics faculty at C.W. Post and began his collaborations with Dr. Berresford. His book with Peter Szusz on Â"Continued FractionsÂ" (1992) was hailed by Ivan Niven as Â"an outstanding addition to the literature of mathematics,Â" and he served the Kappa Mu Epsilon mathematics honor society as editor of the mathematics journal Â"The PentagonÂ" from 1989 to 1995. Dr. Rockett serves as a reviewer for several journals including Mathematical Reviews for the American Mathematical Society.
