The Michigan Section of the Mathematical Association of America (MAA)
named Grand Valley State University Professor Charlene Beckmann as the
state's top college or university math teacher.
The Distinguished College or University Teaching of Mathematics award
was presented to Beckmann at the MAA meeting in Southfield. As a state
award recipient, Beckmann is eligible for the MAA national award.
Beckmann, who lives in Muskegon, has taught at Grand Valley for 14
years. She has published numerous articles in math journals and a series
of math workbooks. Recently Beckmann and another faculty member received
grant funds for a three-year project that will enhance Grand Valley's
core math classes with concepts that arise in K-12 curricula.
