Dr. Howden is now formally retired from a long career teaching mathematics in elementary school through graduate level, editing and coauthoring mathematics textbooks, serving as District Mathematics Coordinator K‐12 for the Albuquerque, New Mexico, Public Schools, writing numerous professional articles, and participating on the writing team of the Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics. She now enjoys long walks with her dog Quincy, “becoming increasingly aware, of mathematics all around us: patterns of leaf growth, distances between consecutive veins in leaves, kinds of ant hills, snake trails in the sand, bird call patterns.” She plans to relate many such examples to mathematical patterns in the book she is currently writing.
