Author Information

Anthony Giangrasso, PhD, was born and raised in Maspeth, New York. He attended Rice High School on a scholarship and, in his senior year, was named in an annual citywide contest by the New York Journal-American newspaper as New York City's most outstanding high school scholar-athlete. He was also awarded a full-tuition scholarship to Iona College, from which he obtained a BA in mathematics, magna cum laude, ranking sixth in his graduating class of approximately 600 students. Anthony began his teaching career as a fifth-grade teacher in Manhattan, as a member of the Christian Brothers of Ireland, and taught high school mathematics and physics in Harlem and Newark, New Jersey. He holds an MS and PhD from New York University and has taught at all levels, from elementary through graduate school. He is currently teaching at Adelphi University and LaGuardia Community College, where he was chairman of the mathematics department. He has authored nine college textbooks through twenty-six editions. Anthony's community service has included membership on the boards of directors of the Polish-American Museum Foundation, Catholic Adoptive Parents Association, and Family Focus Adoptive Services. He was the founding Chairman of the Board of the Italian-American Legal Defense and Higher Education Fund, Inc., and the president of the Italian-American Faculty Association of the City University of New York--in the latter capacity he signed the first discrimination complaint filed with the United States Department of Labor in which Italian-Americans were recognized as a ""class."" This class-action complaint eventually resulted in the threat of twenty separate lawsuits by the U.S. Department of Labor individually against each of the branches of CUNY. The complaint was later dropped as part of a settlement of a separate suit in which CUNY was forced to defend itself in federal court before Judge Constance Baker Motley, where Anthony was the first witness. As part of the ensuing settlement of that case, CUNY was ordered to pay all legal fees and correct some past injustices. He and his wife, Susan, are proud parents of Anthony, Michael, and Jennifer--and grandparents of Calvin, Jackson, Isabel, and Emilia. He enjoys tennis and twice has been ranked #1 for his age group in the Eastern Section by the United States Tennis Association.
