Ron Larson, Ph.D., is well known as the lead author of a comprehensive program for mathematics that spans school mathematics and college courses. He holds the distinction of Professor Emeritus from Penn State Erie, The Behrend College, where he taught for nearly 40 years. He received his Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of Colorado. Dr. Larson’s numerous professional activities keep him actively involved in the mathematics education community and allow him to fully understand the needs of students, teachers, supervisors, and administrators.

Paul Battaglia received his B.S. in actuarial science from the Pennsylvania State University. After some time as an actuarial analyst, he began his teaching career in New Jersey. Since doing so, he has spent over 15 years teaching all levels of mathematics, including Advanced Placement Calculus. He was instrumental in beginning the AP Calculus (BC) program at Manasquan High School. Battaglia has been a featured speaker—both in and out of his district—including speaking about his book at the NJEA teacher’s convention and presenting at the AP Annual Conference.
