Class Photos
I
try to make photos of each class I teach. The first class I taught was Trigonometry,
as a 21-year-old graduate student at Iowa State University, fall semester 1986
(for a complete list of classes I’ve taught, see my cv).
Below, you will find photos of my classes, beginning with the spring semester,
2003, when I bought my first digital camera. I did make photos of my classes
prior to 2003 (beginning in the spring of 1992, when I was finishing graduate
school), but with a film camera, the results of which are scattered about my
office and home, in dusty boxes and folders piled away in closets and file
cabinets. I’ve (slowly!) begun to sort through this detritus (see the fruits of
this labor at the bottom of the page). Maybe I’ll eventually have time to sort
through the rest. . . Maybe not.

My class photos in what follows were
made on film cameras and then converted to jpg files. So the quality of the
images is poor. I’ve only just begun to organize and convert these photos to
jpg format, hence, the list below is short.
