Carolyn Yackel

Carolyn Yackel is an American mathematician who has been Professor of Mathematics at Mercer University in Macon, Georgia since 2001. From 1998 to 2001 she was Max Zorn Visiting Assistant Professor of Mathematics at Indiana University.[1]

Yackel's mother, Erna Beth Yackel, was a mathematics educator on the faculty at Purdue University Northwest.[2] Originally trained as a commutative algebraist, her current interests center on mathematics education and mathematics in art, particularly as applied to fiber art.[3] She specializes in the realization of geometric and topological structures through quilting, cross-stitching, crocheting, knitting, and embroidery.

She is on the Board of the Gathering 4 Gardner[4] and also has a long association with The Bridges Conference.[5]

Early life and career

Yackel was born in West Lafayette, Indiana.

She received her S.B. in mathematics from the University of Chicago (1992) and her M.S. in mathematics from the University of Michigan (1994). She completed her PhD with the dissertation “Asymptotic Behavior of Annihilator Lengths in Certain Quotient Rings” under Melvin Hochster at the University of Michigan (1998).[6]

Combining her interests in mathematics, quilting and knitting she is one of 24 mathematicians and artists who make up the Mathemalchemy Team.[7]
