I am so disappointed I cant hear what she says about Urschel, do you think @LionJim can help us out?
you must think that I have a sad lonely life and live in a bus station.
Her advisor was Richard Evans Schwartz, big big time. Her grandfather advisor was William Thurston, only “the greatest geometric thinker in history.” She’s okay. I would do that class in ASL, blow the classroom doors off their hinges. Good times. I loved my job.
Or me. I know my math, but otherwise I put the O in Oblivious.“Ha! I’m a lot smarter than you. Suck to be you!”
Said by me never.
no sorry. I thought when you said she talks too fast, that if you could slow it down you could lip read what she had to say about Urschel, that's all, I mean no offense.
None taken, from the very beginning. A stupidly inartful response on my part.
I am curious about where she teaches now, I cant seem to find her, but there is another Diana Davis with a PHD in math teaching at some school in Denver, but it is not her . and I dont think she is at Philips Exeter teaching HS either. Her other links wont open for me at work
my retirement yrs if the market crashes
She’s at Phillips Exeter. She has a serious list of publications. She’s a superb mathematician and evidently a great teacher. All respect. I found my niche and looks like she found hers.
ok let me ask, why teach in HS? I mean Swarthmore isnt a turn your head and cough school, and even though she was 'visiting' professor there, why wouldnt she go to another college? I thought with her background, publications etc she could go to about any college. So why wouldnt she? ( I know you dont know, but best guess?)
I am saying why use the cross product when the dot product would probably work as well!
The tenure track system is quite merciless nowadays. Unless you’re a superstar (very few of us are), there’s always a cheaper alternative to you. Schools nowadays are much less inclined to grant tenure. If you’re tenured, you have a job until your department is closed, basically. Not tenured, they can give you the axe anytime, one year notice.
More and more you see colleges opening up non-tenure-track positions where you would have reduced research responsibilities and enhanced teaching responsibilities. Normal service responsibilities plus you get benefits. But these tend to be quite low paying positions.
