| Brief Bio: | ||
| Ieda Rodrigues was born and raised in Canoas, a city in the South of Brazil.
In Brazil, she obtained her B.S in Mathematics with emphasis in Mathematics Education and certification to teach K-12 at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul. Soon after graduation, she started graduate studies in Mathematics also at UFRGS. She got married and came to the USA in the middle of 1986. In 1987, she enrolled in a Master's degree program at Northeastern University to study Combinatorics but actually graduated with MS.C and PhD degrees in Mathematics from the University of Rhode Island in the areas of Differential and Difference Equations in 1990 and 1991, respectively. She has been working as a mathematics professor at Cleveland State University since 1991 and really enjoys teaching for the diverse body of students at CSU. Her favorite non-working related activity is to spend time with her two daughters and husband. She enjoys taking taekwondo lessons. | ||
