Gerald L. "Jerry" Alexanderson taught in the SCU Department of Mathematics and Computer Science from 1958-2018 and served as our Chair for more than 35 years. It is no exaggeration to say that he built the department that thrives today.
When Alexanderson retired, his colleague and former student, Professor Richard Scott, proposed an annual lecture to honor his love, not just for mathematics, but for mathematics communicated well. In only a few months, generous alumni provided enough support to fund the Alexanderson Lecture for many years. At the inaugural lecture in December 2018, Persi Diaconis set a very high standard for speakers. We are proud to share the growing list of those selected to offer the Alexanderson Lecture. Links to recordings are provided when available.
