Solon F Blundell Ph.D. Mathematics, Boston University |
I have been teaching at CCSF since 2002.
I help students learn to read, write, and speak about quantitative problems in a clear and logical manner. I believe that we can all use mathematics, not only to solve the everyday problems of science, engineering, medicine, and business, but perhaps more importantly to develop and extend our problem solving skills as we struggle to internalize the thought processes of those individuals throughout history who have occasionally introduced radical new tools of analysis. I view education as a life-long process; it is an end as well as a means.

Frederick Anthony Teti B. S. in Mathematics from Yale University |
Professor Teti was first hired as an LTS for the Fall of 1995. He was hired tenure-track starting in the Fall of 1996. You can find a little more information about his classes at http://www.ccsf.edu/fteti.
He states: "I try my best to instill in my students a sense of the beauty and wonder inherent in mathematics. I want my students to have a positive attitude toward the subject matter. I work hard to motivate them to leave the classroom eager to crack open their texts and start their homework. I hope they will someday feel the sense of empowerment that comes form having mastered as much mathematics as they possibly can. I try to achieve these goals by assigning a large but fair amount of homework, and administering weekly quizzes on those homework assignments."
He sits on the Academic Senate Executive Council; his term ends in May 2010. He is chair of the Academic Policies Committee and a member of the Planing and Budgeting Council. He is a co-advisor of CCSF's Omega Chapter of the Apha Gamma Sigma Honor Society, and tries to help the Queer Alliance Club around the edges.
Professor Teti belongs to the Council for Mathematics in the California Community Colleges (a.k.a. CMC3). He is a co-chair of the S.F. Pride's Safety Subcommittee.
"Oh, yeah," he adds, "and once a month some friends of mine and I get together and watch Dr. Who."

Ulf T Wostner Filosofie Magister, University of Lund, Sweden; M.A. and C.Phil., University of California, Berkeley. |
Prof. Wostner has been teaching at CCSF since 1978.
I aim at delivering clear lectures and using class time efficiently. If you satisfy the prerequisites, attend all classes, and have enough time to do all the work, you will learn a lot and succeed in my classes. For many years now I have used my web site at http://wiz.ccsf.edu/~uwostner to provide supporting handouts, lists of assignments, and postings of test scores. I also wrote an extensive collection of computer programs, the WebCalc, that provide supporting calculations for my math classes. I have taught many courses in the CIS department, including Internet, Email, and System Administration using Linux. My work with computers and the Internet has helped me choose modern topics and develop new material online.
I wrote and maintain the computer programs that provide free job listings and subscriptions for students at the Career Connection: http://career.ccsf.edu/jobs . As faculty advisor for the CCSF Chess Club, I organized tournaments and lectures by many of the country's top chess player. I was one of the CCSF participants in the year-long ESE project at SFSU, exploring the use of computer-aided Artificial Intelligence in instruction. I am currently the math dept webmaster and am busy redesigning the department home pages at http://www.ccsf.edu/Departments/Math/
Technical publications of research results in mathematical logic in the AMS journal.
Teaching is my first interest, then comes traveling. In my teens I spent every summer hitchiking around Europe and North Africa, working odd jobs and trying learn some of the languages. Later I lived in South America, teaching at universities in Peru and Chile. Living in Berkeley is of course a trip all by itself. Last year I had a chance to visit Shanghai, Beijing, Xian, and the Yellow Mountains in China. My most recent trip was to Iceland. I play tournament chess and backgammon. I also work as a computer consultant doing scientific and Internet programming. Favorite languages: Python, PHP, Perl, Mathematica. Favorite OS: Linux.
