LiveMath and MathEQ are produced by MathMonkeys, LLC, based in Harvard Square, Cambridge, Massachusetts. MathMonkeys is operated by a group of individuals who care about Mathematics Education and providing its customers with high-quality, useful software products. The MathMonkeys believe that expanding mathematics from the usual text book pages students are so afraid of, to a LIVE, un-intimidating environment, accessible to all levels of users all over the world will help today's students advance their knowledge of math with greater understanding and less fear. We believe that math is cool. We believe that math should be live. We believe that math should be accessible. We believe in LiveMath.

Rylee Hannah Wayand "The Boss" Born July 9, 2000, Rylee is the newest addition to the LiveMath team. She's everyone's favorite boss, thus she gets more attention than anyone else in the office. Of course, if anyone else were as cute as she is, they'd get all that attention too. But Rylee is a task-master. She makes sure everyone gets their work done and even helps out with things, when needed. Her skills with JavaScript and paper disposal are often in need around the office. Rylee enjoys playing ball and giggling, taking walks with her mom, finding new keystroke definitions on her dad's G4, and playing peek-a-boo.

Lee founded and continues to run the Calculus Remote Project at the Ohio State University, which features the entire calculus sequence taught via the internet primarily to high schools through-out Ohio. He is also a faculty member at Suffolk University where he is an instructor for their Distance Calculus Program. Go to Lee's Homepage for more info.

Beth Wayand I'm Rylee's Mom...oh....OH.... I do most else besides Math and Programming. That works out to be everything - Accounting, Human Resources, Office Management, etc. Luckily, I graduated with a B.A. in English & a Certificate in Linguistics from the University of Akron to prepare me for just such a position.

Diane Housken Diane completed her B.A. in Mathematics from the University of the Pacific in 1995, studying computer graphics and mathematics education. After graduation she moved to Boston to co-found WebPrimitives, LLC., applying her talents to development of educational and music websites. Diane is an accomplished potter, with frequent shows at Radcliffe College.

Alyssa Panetta Webmistress Alyssa started working with MathMonkeys as an intern from Northeastern University where she is pursuing her BA in Mathematics. She has since risen to the post of Webmistress and has built the front end of many of the pages that you see on this site, as well as other sites run by MathMonkeys. When not slaving over a hot monitor or waiting to graduate, Alyssa can be found behind a guitar as part of the folk/acoustic duo Blue Goddess. Among Alyssa's other hobbies are photography, sewing, and talking about herself in the third person.

Dale Vaillancourt Mac OSX Developer For the family: I write the back ends of web applications such as SMILBase, FolkWeb, and Club Passim's event calendar. I'm also the resident Linux advocate, and I like Peet's coffee almost as much as Robert does. Outside the family: Yeah, I've got a life outside of the family (no matter how much Robert doesn't like it :-). I'm majoring in computer science at WPI with a minor in electrical engineering, and I'm planning on attending grad school at UC Berkeley. I'm also involved with theater , and I practice martial arts. When I come across some free time, I like to play tennis, frisbee, bike, hike, read, and practice the piano.

Ivan Georgiev Windows and Linux Programmer I write the Unix parts of LiveMath Maker and Netscape plugins and try to cover the various, but unified world of UNIX ;-). Otherwise, I'm just about to graduate from Sofia University, Bulgaria with major Computer Science. For more than half of my life I'm playing around with computers - more often programming, actually. Participated in many computer competitions and spent many nights gameing/programming. Also I graduated a mathematical highschool, so : I love Math ! But beside this I really enjoy being in nature. I practice skiing, snowboarding, but most of all I like windsurfing and yachting - currently making my first steps as a skipper in boat-sailing competitions. Not the big ones, though.

Original Software Creator Our thanks and gratitude to the original creator of the LiveMath software line.

Allan Bonadio Allan originally wrote Theorist, Expressionist and prodreg. He has a BS in Applied and Engineering Physics from Cornell University where he minored in Cognitive Psychology. Allan started getting interested in GUI software when the Macintosh first came out in 1984. He's been GUI ever since. He keeps on trying to start new projects but the users of the old projects keep asking for more stuff. He's attempted and failed to learn several languages, so now when he tries to speak French, the occasional German and Indonesian words come out interspersed. Allan enjoys, um, programming.

Bocelli Il Cieco Gatto di Roma In October 2001, Robert (and wife Karen) adopted Bocelli from the Torre Argentina Cat Santuary in the center of Rome. Bocelli was blinded in 1999 and abandoned, but rescued from the streets of Rome and lived in Torre Argentina for two years before moving to Boston. Bocelli now enjoys wrestling with our other cats, laying in the sunshine, sitting in the window listening to birds, and singing. And, of course, 6 or maybe 7 naps per day. Bocelli passed away from heart failure on November 4, 2002. He is missed every day. He had a very happy last year, lived like a king, and was the sweetest cat.
