Joseph "Tucker" Madawick '37
Award-Winning Industrial Designer
Considered a “Living Legend” by the Ford Motor Company and the RCA Corporation, Joseph “Tucker” Madawick led the design team of the famed Tucker automobile introduced in 1948 as the "Car of Tomorrow." He later worked at Studebaker on the 1953 Starliner, which won numerous international design awards and established Studebaker as a styling leader. In 1959 he joined RCA as Manager of Radio, Phonograph, Tape and Television Design where he developed a highly futuristic series of potential electronic product designs that eventually appeared (some 30 years later!) in retail stores. Mr. Madawick became President and Fellow in 1964 of the Industrial Designers Institute (IDI) and later, President and Fellow of its successor, the Industrial Designers Society of America (IDSA).

Jr Math Analysis: Students will learn various topics in advanced mathematics as well as applied problem solving skills for mathematics competitions including ARML, NYSML, NYML, AMC, AIME and Mandelbrot.
Sr Math Analysis: Students will learn various topics in advanced mathematics as well as applied problem solving skills for mathematics competitions including ARML, NYSML, NYML, AMC, AIME and Mandelbrot.
Math Research: Students will use professional journals and other sources to conduct expository and original research. Papers will be submitted to the NYC Metropolitan Math Fair as well as various other research competitions including but not limited to NYCSEF and Intel.
Discrete Mathematics: This course offers an introduction to the field of discrete mathematics beginning with review of number systems and set theory, functions and counting, and continuing with review of vectors and matrices, Boolean algebra, algorithms and their efficiency. Other topics included graphs, bipartite graphs and matching problems, digraphs, networks, and flows, and appropriate related applications.
Linear Algebra: Vector spaces, basis and dimension, matrices, linear transformations, determinants, solution of systems of linear equations, eigenvalues, and eigenvectors.
AP Calculus BC*: Students will work with functions represented in a variety of ways: graphical, numerical, analytical, or verbal. They should understand the connections among these representations. Students are expected to understand the meaning of the derivative in terms of a rate of change and local linear approximation and they should be able to use derivatives to solve a variety of problems; understand the meaning of the definite integral both as a limit of Riemann sums and as the net accumulation of change and should be able to use integrals to solve a variety of problems; understand the relationship between the derivative and the definite integral as expressed in both parts of the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus; model a written description of a physical situation with a function, a differential equation, or an integral; use technology to help solve problems, experiment, interpret results, and verify conclusions; determine the reasonableness of solutions, including sign, size, relative accuracy, and units of measurement; develop an appreciation of calculus as a coherent body of knowledge and as a human accomplishment.
