My name is Mathew Crawford and I am one of the administrators, teachers, and curriculum developers at Art of Problem Solving. I help manage the AoPSWiki and if you have any problems with the AoPSWiki or any other part of the AoPS network, I will do my best to assist you.

Teaching

I enjoy teaching, so I'll list more of my past teaching experience than anyone would care to know about:

• AoPS Classes -- I write and teach many classes at AoPS.
• Math Jams -- I've taught quite a few of them.
• San Diego Math Circle (2003-2006)
• Coach of San Diego ARML (2006)
• Co-coach of Missouri ARML (1996-97)
• Mountain Brook Geometry Math Team (1991-1992)
• Private college math tutor (2002-2003)
• Hundreds of hours of volunteer math tutoring (1990-1995)
