The trailblazers in human, academic, scientific and religious freedom have always been in the minority… It will take such a small committed minority to work unrelentingly to win the uncommitted majority. Such a group may transform America’s greatest dilemma into her most glorious opportunity.
Background
Terrance Blackman is a number theorist and an assistant professor in education research, policy & practice (mathematics) at University of Denver. Blackman holds a BSc in mathematics from Brooklyn College, CUNY. He earned his MPhil and PhD degrees in mathematics from The Graduate School and University Center, CUNY.
Interests
Blackman’s research focuses on aspects of the Jacquet-Langlands correspondence in the Langlands program and diversity in mathematics and science. He is actively engaged in research on the issues which surround the teaching and learning of mathematics in urban, majority African-American settings. As program leader for Legacy Pathways, he utilizes “technology, research, innovative ideas, hands-on learning experiences, and best practices to develop and sustain lifelong learners.”
As an MLK visiting assistant professor, Blackman worked closely with Prof. David Vogan and participated in the Department of Mathematics’ Lie group and number-theory seminars.
