Dr. Millman is the Director of the Center for Education Integrating Science, Mathematics & Computing (CEISMC) and professor of mathematics at the Georgia Institute of Technology.  Before coming to Georgia Tech, he was the Outreach Professor of Mathematics at the University of Kentucky, a tenured position in the Department of Mathematics.  It was created to support pre-service and in-service teacher training for K-12 mathematics teachers, coordinate outreach activities to public schools, and advocate the cause of Mathematics Education in the Commonwealth of Kentucky.  One of his primary roles was as Principal Investigator and Project Director of ALGEBRA CUBED, a $1.8M award from the National Science Foundation.  This grant focuses on the use of graduate students from STEM disciplines to improve the conceptual and procedural knowledge of algebra in middle and high school students in two poor, rural counties in Kentucky.

Dr. Millman has co-authored four books in mathematics (including a content focused math book for future elementary and middle school teachers), co-edited three other scholarly works (including one concerning effective tasks in primary school mathematics education) and received nine peer reviewed grants.  He has published over 40 articles about mathematics or mathematics education and has taught a wide variety of mathematics and mathematics education courses throughout the undergraduate and graduate curriculum.  Most recently, he has taught the preservice content math course for future elementary school teachers and a problem solving course for future middle school teachers and, at Georgia Tech, MA 4441, Differential Geometry.  He has given 40 invited seminars on mathematics or mathematics education at various universities and conferences internationally (including ones at Harvard, Princeton and in the People’s Republic of China.)  He received an Outstanding Performance Award of the National Science Foundation and, with a former student, was awarded an Excel Prize for Expository Writing.
