In Loving Memory of a Legend: Burt Kaufman

Published July 8th, 2007 in Friends & Family, New Categories, Math Education and IMACS.

Burt Kaufman passed away yesterday. I had the privilege of being taught mathematics and computer science by Mr. Kaufman and of studying under the IMACS curriculum for ten years. In the course of those ten years, he enriched my mind and my life, as he did for countless students, parents and fellow teachers throughout his storied and successful career.
