Jeremy Kilpatrick
Jeremy Kilpatrick (September 21, 1935, in Fairfield, Iowa – September 17, 2022, in Athens, Georgia) was an American mathematics educator. He received the Felix Klein Medal for 2007 from ICMI (The International Commission on Mathematics Instruction). He graduated from Chaffey two-year college in California (1954), then he went to the University of California at Berkeley to earn an A.B degree (1956) in mathematics and after an M.A degree (1960) in education. He received his M.S. in mathematics in 1962 and his PhD degree in mathematics education in 1967, both from Stanford University, where he was also a research assistant in the SMSG (School Mathematics Study Group)(1962-1967). His dissertation was supervised by Edward Begle with George Pólya and Lee Conbrach in the doctoral committee, and addressed eight graders’ problem-solving heuristics. From 1967 to 1975 he taught from as an assistant and later as an associate professor  at Teachers College, Columbia University, in New York. In 1975, he moved to the University of Georgia, where he was a professor of mathematics education. He received the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics Lifetime Achievement Award for Distinguished Service to Mathematics Education in 2003. He also received the Felix Klein Medal for 2007 from ICMI (The International Commission on Mathematics Instruction). More recently Jeremy Kilpatrick received The Award for Interdisciplinary Excellence in Mathematics Education by Texas A&M University. Publications
