Chris K. Caldwell
I have taught Mathematics and Introductory Statistics at the University of Tennessee at Martin for over thirty-four years now. I usually teach four courses per semester. My print publications are listed on a separate page. In my "spare time" I am an active web content developer with tens of thousands of web pages on prime numbers theory and records, especially the database of the 5,000 largest known primes.

Education
University of California, Berkeley
In 1984 I received my Ph.D. in algebraic number theory at the University of California at Berkeley, working under the topologist P. Emory Thomas.
California State University, Hayward
I started as an undergraduate physics major at the California State University at Hayward. I eventually earned a B.S. in mathematics. California has re-branded my old school as "Cal State East Bay."
