About our authors Raymond A. Barnett,  a native of California, received his B.A. in mathematical statistics from the University of California at Berkeley and his M.A. in mathematics from the University of Southern California. He has been a member of the Merritt College Mathematics Department and was chairman of the department for 4 years. Raymond Barnett has authored or co-authored 18 textbooks in mathematics, most of which are still in use. In addition to international English editions, a number of books have been translated into Spanish.The late Michael R. Ziegler received his B.S. from Shippensburg State College and his M.S. and Ph.D. from the University of Delaware. After completing post-doctoral work at the University of Kentucky, he was appointed to the faculty of Marquette University where he held the rank of Professor in the Department of Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science. Dr. Ziegler published over a dozen research articles in complex analysis and co-authored 11 undergraduate mathematics textbooks with Raymond A. Barnett, and more recently with Karl E. Byleen.Karl E. Byleen received his B.S., M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in mathematics from the University of Nebraska. He is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science of Marquette University. He has published a dozen research articles on the algebraic theory of semigroups.Christopher Stocker received his B.S. in mathematics and computer science from St. John's University in Minnesota and his M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in mathematics from the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign.  He is currently an Adjunct Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science of Marquette University.  He has published 8 research articles in the areas of graph theory and combinatorics.
