The Summer Institute will facilitate a focus on curriculum, pedagogy, and technology as supported by NCTM and the COllege Board. Other class activities will include curriculum planning, revising your course, class discussions, scheduling and time management, textbooks and other resources, testing and evaluation in an AP course, understanding the structure, content and grading of the AP exam, and sharing ideas and experiences with other teachers. Participants in the AP Calc Institute should be secondary mathematics teachers currently teaching or preparing to teach calculus. Our AP Summer Teacher Institute is endorsed by The College Board. Application materials will be distributed to schools and science coordinators for use by interested teachers.

Dr. Hudson's research interests are in the field of nonselfadjoint operator algebras, a branch of functional analysis. His research has dealt with the ideal structure, radicals, extreme points, and Lie ideals of limit algebras, as well as norm-closed bimodules and weakly closed Lie ideals in nest algebras. In addition, he has studied the factorization of positive invertible operators in UHF algebras along a TAF subalgebra. Most recently, he has become quite enthralled with the representation theory, primitive ideal spaces, and automatic continuity of isomorphisms of limit algebras. Dr. Hudson has been teaching Calculus for the past ten years.
