Mark Dugopolski
Mark Dugopolski was born in Menominee, Michigan. After receiving a B.S. from Michigan
State University, he taught high school for four years, and then went on to receive
an M.S. in mathematics from Northern Illinois University. He also received a Ph.D.
in the area of topology from the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana, and
ever since, Mark has been teaching at Southeastern Louisiana in Hammond, LA. He has
been writing textbooks for about ten years. He is married and has two daughters,
and enjoys playing tennis, jogging, and riding his bicycle in his spare time. Despite
the presence of sailboats both on and in his precalculus textbooks, Mark does not
sail-- it's his passion for showing students how mathematics is used in the real
world that led him to the world of sailing. |
