Prof. Blundell has 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.

Professor Keys has been teaching at CCSF since 2007.
She believes that all people should have equal opportunities in education, that an educated person should be literate in math as well as reading and versed both in critical thinking and problem solving. Professor Keys works in her class to dispel the myth that math is hard or uninteresting to learn by revealing how math can be enjoyable and amazing and encourages students to question and to work hard for answers to those questions.
In her leisure time Professor Keys enjoys swimming, singing and cooking.

Professor Saunders has been teaching at CCSF since 1995.
Instructional/educational philosophy and goals: I believe that everyone can learn math, given the right environment, and that the feeling of accomplishment you gain from completing your goals is well worth the effort it requires. I believe in breathing, homework, making a lot of mistakes, learning from your mistakes, practice, laughter, group work, engaged students, energetic classrooms and barefoot teachers.
When I manage to eke out a little spare time, I enjoy photography, writing poetry and pyrotechnics.

Mr. 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.
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 sit on the Academic Senate Executive Council; my term ends in May 2012. I am the chair of the Academic Policies Committee and a resource member of the Planning and Budgeting Council. I am a co-advisor of CCSF's Omega Chapter of the Alpha Gamma Sigma Honor Society.
I belong to the Council for Mathematics in the California Community Colleges (a.k.a. CMC3). I am a co-chair of the S.F. Pride's Safety Subcommittee.
Once a month some friends of mine and I get together and watch Dr. Who episodes.

I have been teaching at CCSF since 2000.
I have taught a wide range of community college mathematics courses from beginning courses such as Math E, Elementary Algebra and Intermediate Algebra to upper-level courses such as Calculus, Statistics and Linear Algebra.
I feel quite fortunate to be a professor in such a diverse community as the Bay Area, especially at CCSF since my students are diverse in age and ethnic background as well as representing groups of varying sexual orientations and various learning and physical abilities.
I have dedicated myself to my career and my students and I always go the extra mile to help my students, particularly if they have challenges in learning math due to disabilities, difficulties due to their backgrounds such as ESL or weak backgrounds in math.
After every class, I don’t feel that it is a victory for me to have given a great lecture, but rather I delight in seeing my students understand the material.
In my free time, I love snowboarding, biking, playing guitar and enjoying time with friends and family.

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/ 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 maintained the computer programs that provided 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.
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 hitchhiking 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. One of my favorite trips was to visit Shanghai, Beijing, Xian, and the Yellow Mountains in China. The coolest trip was to Iceland. I play tournament chess and backgammon. I also work as a computer consultant doing scientific and web programming. Favorite languages: Python, PHP, Perl, Mathematica. Favorite OS: Linux.
