Take me to...  

What I look like
Okay, really

Hi. My name is John Golden and through several quirks of fate, I am a tenured associate professor at Grand Valley State University Department of Mathematics . (Really, it's all Ed's fault.) I like it here very much. If you are a student, I recommend it highly. You can find me in 2254 Mackinac. My full contact information is here . That's me to the left.
I'm interested in most everything we offer in the department here, but especially the mathematics education. In particular, mathematical outreach, learning of geometry, and mentoring preservice teachers. This semester I am supervising secondary student assistants and teaching Math 210. My full schedule is here .

What else?....

My course info pages are at the University's new blackboard site (I always enable guest access). On this website here you can find: a page of math games (recently updated), Java Sketchpad activities, Movies Making Money (from Math in Action 2004), the Math in Art Festival, Exponential Functions on the Web and Middle School Mathematics on the Web (Quite old, but at one time won an award from Study Web). I also have a page about tessellation resources on the Web. I'm an estranged, token mathematician for the Science Education Group to which I belong.

X and Y say, "Come see our pics " .
Beach!
The Magic page (in disrepair) is about my main addiction. My most recent Magic timesink is an experimetntal spreadsheet: MagicProbability2 The total loss of hobbies happens when you have kids I hear. Tho' X and Y are some good. (Still -- If you're at GVSU and you play, come by with a deck!)

For more direct contact, if you could be possibly interested after the above, come see me in 2254 Mackinac Hall or call 331-2449 or e-mail me at goldenj@gvsu.edu
