Brock University's Department of Mathematics and Statistics Names Its Learning Centre after Professor Emeritus Eric Muller

Abstract

The naming of the Learning Centre is an honour that recognizes all of Eric Muller's outstanding contributions to mathematics teaching and learning at Brock University. This includes the development of the concurrent education programs, as well as his sustained dedication to the broader mathematics community, including OAME/AOEM, where he founded the Golden Section Chapter. We invite you to celebrate the contributions of this trailblazer of mathematics education in Ontario. Dr. Eric Muller joined Brock University in 1967 after completing his Ph.D. in Theoretical Physics at the University of Sheffield (England). At that time, Brock University was only in its third year of existence, with 11 departments and about 700 students. Over his many decades at Brock, Eric wore a variety of hats. In addition to the significant role he played in the development and teaching of the undergraduate mathematics courses, his other contributions included serving on the University Senate, seven Presidential Committees, and the Board of Governors. Eric will always be respected and celebrated for his dedication to mathematics education.
