Terrel Trotter, Jr.

In Memoriam

May 21, 1941 - September 16, 2004

Our friend Terry, a teacher at El Salvador's Escuela Americana, joined the Problem of the Week staff in 1999. He created many Algebra Problem of the Week puzzles, and mentored thousands of students who participated in that and other PoW services. We remember him for his passionate teaching and exploration of algebra and number theory.

Terry's body of work includes:

• The World of Trotter Math
• Algebra Problem of the Week
• All the King's Digits
