Darryl Yong

Darryl Yong, associate professor of mathematics, shares his experience teaching high school math in the November issue of the American Mathematical Society publication Notices.

For his sabbatical, Yong spent the 2009-2010 academic year teaching鈥擜lgebra 1, Algebra 2, Geometry and a mathematics intervention class鈥攁t a Los Angeles public high school.

He chronicled his journey in a blog and later at Park City Mathematics Institute.

In the Notices article, 鈥�,鈥� Yong discusses his experience and the four lessons he drew from it.
