He completed a master鈥檚 degree and a doctorate 鈥 the latter on finite group theory, on the uniqueness of the O鈥橬an simple sporadic group 鈥 at Rutgers University.
Since 1996, Dr. Andrilli supervised La 91直播鈥檚 mathematics-education programs (undergraduate and graduate) each spring, and 鈥渟hepherded鈥 over 80 student-teachers / supervised-teachers during their student-teaching / supervised-teaching semester.
Dr. Andrilli taught a wide variety of courses, mostly mathematics-related, but also, in computer science. His favorite courses (and main interests) were History of Mathematics, Modern Geometries, Linear Algebra and Abstract Algebra. His most unusual offering was an Honors Course based on Douglas Hofstadter鈥檚 classic 鈥淕枚del, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid鈥 in which he wove together G枚del鈥檚 Undecidability Theorem, the art of M.C. Escher, the music of J.S. Bach, the 鈥淎lice鈥 works by Lewis Carroll, and the pioneer computer work of Charles Babbage and Alan Turing. He was awarded the Lindback Award in 1990 for distinguished teaching.
