Professor Richard M. Dahlke has an extensive formal academic background in mathematics and mathematics education. He graduated from the University of Wisconsin, Stevens Point, with a Bachelor of Science Degree in mathematics, and a teaching certificate in secondary school mathematics. He holds a Master of Arts degree in teaching mathematics from California State University, San Diego, and a Master of Science degree in mathematics and a Doctor of Philosophy degree in mathematics education from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. He taught high school mathematics in Wisconsin for three years and college mathematics for the next thirty-six years. His first two years of college teaching were at the State University of New York, College at Buffalo. As a college professor of mathematics for thirty-four years at the University of Michigan, Dearborn, he taught all the courses in the calculus track lower-division mathematics program to students pursuing degrees in mathematics, engineering, natural sciences and business. At the upper-division level he taught linear algebra, abstract algebra, geometry from an advanced viewpoint, and specialized courses for students pursuing a major or minor in elementary school mathematics. For many years he taught courses on problem solving in mathematics, and techniques of teaching secondary school mathematics.His professional accomplishments are many. He has been an active conference presenter and workshop leader at local, state, and national conferences. He served two terms as chair of the Michigan Council of Teachers of Mathematics (MCTM) Teacher Preparation Committee, and served for many years as the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics representative to MCTM and the Detroit Area Council of Teachers of Mathematics. His writings and research have focused on issues associated with the learning and teaching of mathematics at all levels of education. He has published widely in academic journals on a variety of mathematics and mathematics education subjects.Professor Dahlke is a strong advocate for college students, including their right to receive quality mathematics instruction. He believes that learning is a partnership among the student, the student's classmates, and the instructor, and that students' efforts to organize and manage their time is critical to success in college. He further believes that students should enjoy college. In order for that to happen students shouldn't get stressed out or too alarmed when things don't go well. They need to focus their energies on making necessary changes that will improve their college experience and lessen stress and anxiety.
