About the Author Roselyn Teukolsky, M.S. (Ithaca, New York) has been teaching programming and computer science since 1980 and served as a Reader for AP Computer Science for several years. She has published articles in The Mathematics Teacher and in the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics Yearbook, and she has received several awards and honors, including the Edyth May Sliffe Award for Distinguished Mathematics Teaching and the Alfred Kalfus Distinguished Coach Award from the New York State Math League.

About the Publisher Many great things begin with a tiny spark, and for Manuel H. Barron that spark came from a mimeograph machine in the basement of his Brooklyn, NY, bookstore in the late 1930s. People from the community asked Mr. Barron for books to help their children study for the New York State Regents exams. After realizing there wasn't anything available, Mr. Barron created his own study guides.

Now, more than 80 years later, Barrons continues to help millions of learners worldwide prepare for their next steps. With offerings from pre-college prep to world language guides and professional certification exams, Barrons wants to be part of your success story no matter what learning path youre on. You can trust Barrons to provide exceptional products created only by top experts with years of experience in education. From generation to generation, our mission remains the same: Learn, grow, and succeed with Barrons throughout your life-long learning journey.
