Carol Schumacher has been a member of the Kenyon faculty since the fall of 1988. She received her BA from Hendrix College and her Ph.D. in mathematics from The University of Texas at Austin. She has served two terms as chair of the mathematics department and is the recipient of Kenyon's Trustee Teaching Award. She is the author of Closer and Closer: Introducing Real Analysis and Chapter Zero: Fundamental Notions of Abstract Mathematics, 2E. Professor Schumacher is active in the Mathematical Association of America and is currently serving on the Committee for the Undergraduate Program in Mathematics. In recent years she has been invited to address the Project NExT fellows at their summer workshop and has also given invited addresses at the Legacy of R.L. Moore conference. Prof. Schumacher regularly teaches Calculus, Foundations, and Real Analysis I and II. She has also taught other courses such as Surprises at Infinity, Differential Equations, Complex Functions, Vector Calculus, Topology, and Linear Algebra. She lives in Gambier with her husband and their two daughters.
