Mathworks Faculty


Dr. Max Warshauer is the Founder and Director of Texas Mathworks. He worked with Dr. McCabe and Ms. Warshauer to develop the curriculum for the Junior Summer Math Camp, and teaches Number Theory in the Honors Summer Math Camp each summer.


Dr. Terry McCabe is the Associate Director of Mathworks.  He is a co-author of the Mathworks Junior Summer Math Camp curriculum, leads the teacher training program, and teaches Analysis I and II in the Honors Summer Math Camp each summer.


Eugene Curtin has been a member of the University faculty since 1988 and the Math Camp faculty since 1991. He teaches problem solving, combinatorics and abstract algebra and sometimes directs student research projects with the camp. He enjoys playing and discussing mathematical games and puzzles. His research interests have included differential geometry, abstract algebra and combinatorics. He is also a Mathematica enthusiast.

Carol Hazlewood is Associate Professor of Computer Science at Texas State University, with research interests in computational mathematics and science. She holds a Ph.D in Computer Science from the University of Texas at Austin, an M.A. in Mathematics from Syracuse University, and a B.A. in Mathematics from Binghamton University. She has team-taught the Math Camp Mathematica Lab, where number-theoretic algorithms are introduced and implemented and Computer Science concepts are introduced or strengthened.

Dr. Don Hazlewood is a Professor of Mathematics at Texas State University.  He received his Ph.D in Mathematics, a M.A. in Mathematics, and a M.S. in General Science from Syracuse University.  He also received a B.A. in Mathematics from the University of Texas at Austin, and an A.A. degree in Liberal Arts from Odessa College.  He teaches the Math Camp Mathematica Lab along with his wife, and they have been long time participants in the Honors Summer Math Camp.

Daniela Ferrero holds a Ph.D. in Mathematics from the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (Barcelona, Spain) where she worked in a leading team in her field of research, Graph Theory. She does research with students, and in the past she mentored research teams for the Siemens competition. She organizes the CombinaTexas Conference Series, with support from a grant of the National Science Foundation, to create a regional environment of collaboration.

Diann A. McCabe earned an MFA in Poetry from Texas State University—San Marcos in 1994. Her work as assistant director of the University Honors Program since then involves advising, writing, teaching, and developing programs for some 550 Honors students. Having published in the Lullwater Review and The Texas Observer, she teaches Honors Research Methods, Teaching Poetry to Children, and honors seminar for the Math Camp focusing on interdisciplinary approaches to learning and creativity.                                                                                        


Dr. Joyce Fischer has taught mathematics courses at Texas State University for 15 years. She has worked closely with teachers in the lab portion of the Junior Summer Math Camp in the morning and taught graduate courses linked to the camp to teachers in the afternoon. One incident that demonstrates her desire to encourage bridging and networking among teachers at all levels occurred in April, 2003, when she co-presented math camp related methods at NCTM (National Council of Teachers of Mathematics International Conference) with one of the elementary teachers from math camp.


Hiroko Warshauer develops curriculum for the Junior Summer Math Camp and accompanies the Primary Math World Contest team as the team leader. Hiroko has been a faculty member in the Department of Mathematics at Texas State University-San Marcos since 1979. She received her BA from the University of Chicago and her MS from Louisiana State University.


Sam Baethge is a retired secondary math teacher, coach of the Texas ARML team and the director of the Texas Mathematics League. He teaches a level 5 class on problem solving and coaches the Primary Mathematics World Contest team at Junior Math Camp.
