OTHER

Dr. Max Warshauer is a Professor of Mathematics at Texas State University and Director and founder of Texas Mathworks. He founded the Honors Summer Math Camp for gifted high school students in 1990 and has taught the number theory course in this program each summer. He extended the program to include younger students in 1996 with the Mathworks Junior Summer Math Camp and developed this into a replicable model that included teacher training in 1997. Mathworks is a center of excellence that coordinates student and teacher training programs, curriculum development, and research projects. He is currently working on a curriculum project that introduces young students to algebra and higher level mathematics, supported by grants from the Meadows Foundation, RGK Foundation, and Kodosky Foundation.

Over 7800 students and 660 teachers have attended Mathworks Summer programs. Mathworks was one of five programs in Texas to receive the 2001 Texas Higher Education Star Award for Closing the Gaps. Dr. Warshauer was one of 10 individuals in the country to receive the 2001 Presidential Award for Excellence in Science, Mathematics, and Engineering Mentoring. Mathworks sent the first U. S. teams ever to compete in the Primary Math World Contest in Hong Kong. The teams were trained as part of Mathworks Level 5. In 2008, the Mathworks team won the Po Leung Kuk Cup as the top non-Asian team for the 6th time, while being tied for first overall among all teams. Eighty-three Mathworks students have been named Siemens semi-finalists the past 8 years, 37 regional finalists, and 8 students (3 teams) national finalists (top 6 in the country). In December, 2007, Mathworks received the Siemens Founders Award which each year recognizes one person or program in the country for its contributions to developing future leaders in math, science, and technology. In 2008, Dr. Warshauer was recognized as a Regents Professor, the highest honor in the Texas State University System. He also received the 2008 Presidential Award for Excellence in Teaching, the 2008 Everette Swinney Faculty Senate Teaching Award, and the 2009 Everette Swinney Faculty Senate Teaching Award.

Dr. Warshauer uses grants to support Texas State undergraduates to learn about teaching. A 3-year grant in 2003 from the Meadows Foundation provided undergraduates with an early classroom experience as Meadows Fellows where the students were placed into middle and high school classrooms to assist teachers. This program continued with another 3-year grant from the Richardson Foundation in 2006. Over 250 undergraduates have been Meadows or Richardson Fellows in the past 7 years, and the program is still continuing. A grant from Intel Foundation supported 4 Texas State students as Intel Math Scholars to assist in the Mathworks curriculum project, and also supported 4 scholarships for high school students to attend the Honors Summer Math Camp. Grants from the National Science Foundation (NSF), Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education (FIPSE), and 4 Teacher Quality Grants through the Texas Education Agency supported teacher training that resulted in training over 660 teachers who all received graduate credit at Texas State. Grants from the Kodosky Foundation and Siemens Foundation provided opportunities for disadvantaged students to attend the Junior Summer Math Camp and Honors Summer Math Camp. The San Marcos CISD presented the Mathworks Team with a Recognition Plaque in 2003 in honor of the work and partnership of Mathworks with their students and teachers. Finally, 9 grants from the American Math Society Epsilon Fund, which each year recognizes the top 6 or so summer programs in the country, along with other sponsors and donors has provided over $100,000 each summer in scholarships for disadvantaged students to attend the Mathworks summer math camps. In summary, Dr. Warshauer has always tried to ensure that financial background is not a problem for students to attend Mathworks summer programs, while using grants to introduce Texas State undergraduates and graduate students to exciting opportunities in teaching and curriculum development.
