James Stewart

James Stewart received the M.S. degree from Stanford University and the Ph.D. from the University of Toronto. After two years as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of London, he became Professor of Mathematics at McMaster University. His research has been in harmonic analysis and functional analysis. Stewart’s books include a series of high school textbooks as well as a best-selling series of calculus textbooks published by Cengage Learning. He is also co-author, with Lothar Redlin and Saleem Watson, of a series of college algebra and precalculus textbooks. Translations of his books include those into Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, Korean, Chinese, Greek, Indonesian and Japanese. A talented violinist, Stewart was concertmaster of the McMaster Symphony Orchestra for many years and played professionally in the Hamilton Philharmonic Orchestra. He has given more than 20 talks worldwide on mathematics and music. Stewart was named a Fellow of the Fields Institute in 2002 and was awarded an honorary D.Sc. in 2003 by McMaster University. The library of the Fields Institute is named after him. The James Stewart Mathematics Centre was opened in October, 2003, at McMaster University.

Steve Kokoska

Steve Kokoska received his undergraduate degree from Boston College and his M.S. and Ph.D. from the University of New Hampshire. He taught for 36 years and is now professor emeritus in the department of mathematical and digital sciences at Bloomsburg University. Dr. Kokoska has served as Chief Reader for the AP® calculus reading and as a member of the AP® Calculus Development Committee. He has been involved with calculus reform and the use of technology in the classroom for numerous years. He has written several technology supplements, an introductory statistics text and an AP® calculus text with Dr. Stewart. He has also given numerous presentations for the College Board and Texas Instruments, has presented workshops in China and Singapore, participated in several AP® calculus-focused webinar and has written and produced several calculus resources for Texas Instruments.
