IN MEMORIAM
Shirley O. Hockett (1920–2013)
Shirley Hockett taught mathematics for 45 years, first at Cornell
University and later at Ithaca College, where she was named Professor
Emerita in 1991. An outstanding teacher, she won numerous awards
and authored six mathematics textbooks. Shirley’s experiences as an
Exam Reader and Table Leader for AP Calculus led her to write the
first ever AP Calculus review book, published in 1971. Her knowledge
of calculus, attention to detail, pedagogical creativity, and dedication
to students continue to shine throughout this book. On behalf of the
thousands of AP Calculus students who have benefited from her
tireless efforts, we gratefully dedicate this review book to Shirley.
