معرفی
James J. Madden is a Professor of Mathematics at Louisiana State University (LSU), specializing in real algebraic geometry, ordered algebraic structures, and mathematics education. He has taught numerous courses, including graduate-level algebra (Math 7210) and geometry for secondary teachers (M4005). His research spans algebraic structures, lattice-ordered groups, and pedagogical methods, with contributions to educational initiatives like LaMSTI and the MathVision Lab. Active in curriculum development, he focuses on enhancing mathematical proficiency for K-12 educators. His work includes over 40 peer-reviewed articles on algebraic theories and educational practices.
Research Interests: Real algebraic geometry, lattice-ordered groups, ordered structures, mathematics education, algebraic combinatorics.
Teaching: Courses include advanced algebra, geometry for teachers, and pre-service education. He emphasizes rigorous foundational approaches and connects historical developments (e.g., Euclid's Elements) with modern pedagogy.
Service: Involved in academic outreach, curriculum design, and supporting STEM education reforms. Authored resources for teachers via LSU's Secondary Math Site.
