February 4, 2012

Bruce Crauder graduated from Haverford College in 1976, receiving a B.A. with honors in mathematics, and received his Ph.D. from Columbia in 1981, writing a dissertation on algebraic geometry. After post-doctoral positions at the Institute for Advanced Study, the University of Utah, and the University of Pennsylvania, Bruce went to Oklahoma State University in 1986 where he is now a Professor of Mathematics and also Associate Dean.

Bruce's research in algebraic geometry has resulted in 10 refereed articles in as many years in his specialty, three-dimensional birational geometry. He has since worked on the challenge of the beginning college math curriculum, resulting in the creation of two new courses with texts to support the courses. He is especially pleased with these texts, as they combine scholarship with his passion for teaching.
