Bio

Jennifer Schaefer is a theoretical mathematician whose research interests include the areas of symmetric spaces of finite groups and applications of group theory and number theory. Schaefer’s scholarship also explores pedagogical topics, such as writing in the discipline and first-year seminars. Her most recent book project, Mathematical Themes in a First-Year Seminar, is a co-edited, contributed volume of over 30 chapters describing first-year seminars with mathematical themes taught at different institutions. She and her collaborators hope this book serves as a resource for other mathematics faculty tasked with teaching a first-year seminar.
