Stuart Moskowitz

Stuart Moskowitz retired from the Humboldt State University math department in 2018 after teaching 23 years. 

He primarily taught the course Math for Teachers, but his favorite was History and Culture of Mathematics. In both of these courses he frequently used puzzles, because many puzzles can be solved with math while other puzzles can be used to explain math. Additionally, he has studied the history of puzzles, with an emphasis on puzzles created and studied by Lewis Carroll. 

Off campus, he taught workshops for teachers, with topics split between puzzles in the classroom and appropriate uses of calculators in the classroom. 

Now retired, when not gardening or bringing puzzles to his grandchildren (and their parents), he's solving puzzles, adding to his puzzle collection, and traveling to puzzle parties. So he's a metagrobologist -- metagrobology is the pursuit and study of puzzles.
