Steve Leduc has been teaching at the university level since the age of 19. He earned his Sc.B. in theoretical mathematics from MIT at 20, and his M.A. in mathematics from UCSD at 22. After his graduate studies, Steve co-founded Hyperlearning, Inc., an educational services company that provided supplemental courses in undergraduate math and science for students from the University of California, where he lectured seventeen different courses in mathematics and physics. He has published four math books, Differential Equations in 1995, Linear Algebra in 1996, The Princeton Review’s Cracking the GRE Math Subject Test in 2000 and Cracking the Virginia SOL Algebra II in 2001, as well as a physics book, The Princeton Review’s Cracking the SAT II Physics in 2000. Through Hyperlearning, Steve has directed the creation and administration of the most successful preparation course for the medical school entrance exam (the MCAT) in California, where he has taught mathematics and physics to thousands of undergraduates. He currently owns two-to-the-eleventh power CDs and has seen Monty Python and The Holy Grail, The Lord of the Rings trilogy (extended versions), and Blade Runner about two-to-the-eleventh power times.
John J. Miller earned his B.S. in physics at Illinois Institute of Technology and M.Ed. at University of Illinois at Chicago. He has been teaching physics since 1990. He currently teaches at New Trier Township High School in Winnetka, Illinois. In addition to teaching physics, the two other major areas of his life that keep him in balance are his family, (wife Becky, and three children, Gregg, Katie, and Jackie), and his martial arts (he’s practiced tae kwon do since 1982 and jujitsu since 1986).
