The Linear Function and Euclidean Geometry: Synthesis Lectures on Mathematics & Statistics

Jennifer Edmond, Ph.D., received her Ph.D. from Syracuse University in 2018. Her research interests include combinatorics and graph theory, with a particular focus on carbon nanostructures. As a graduate fellow, she was one of the leaders of an NSF program for undergraduates at Syracuse University and the Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts, where she led many of the program’s work sessions. Since completing her Ph.D., Dr. Edmond has built a successful tutoring program while raising her family.

Jack E. Graver, Ph.D., is a Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Syracuse University. He received his Ph.D. from Indiana University in1964, had a two a year Post Doc at Dartmouth College, and joined the faculty at Syracuse University in 1966. His early research areas were in set theory, mathematical programming, and graph theory. Dr. Graver's research interests include chemical graph theory, specifically in the structure of carbon molecules called fullerenes. Starting as a graduate student, Dr. Graver taught NSF summer workshops for high school teachers at Indiana University. He continued teaching summer and year-long teacher workshops at Syracuse University, the College of the Virgin Islands, and at the Shell Center in England.
