Mr. Daniel Flegler is a renowned American mathematics educator, founder of the Math League, and Director of the Math League Academic Committee.
In 1977, he received the "Award for Excellence in Secondary Education" from Princeton University. In 1985, he was awarded the "Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching" by then-President Reagan. He has served as the chairperson or committee member for mathematics competitions in fifteen states and territories, as well as editor and reviewer for many mathematics journals. He was a member of the SAT committee (the U.S. college entrance exam) for six consecutive years and has published 24 books.
Dr. Mark Saul is currently the Executive Director of the Julia Robinson Mathematics Festival.
Previous positions:
Director of the Center for Mathematical Talent at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, New York University
Senior Scholar for the John Templeton Foundation's Quality Education Program

In 1992, Brian Conran received a bachelor's degree from Harvard University and a Hoopes Prize for Excellence of his undergraduate thesis. While studying for a doctorate at Princeton University, he worked on results building on the techniques used by his doctoral supervisor Andrew Wiles to prove the famous 350-year-old Fermat's Last Theorem. After he received his doctorate in 1996, he was a postdoctoral scholar at Harvard and the Institute for Advanced Study, during which time he collaborated with others to prove the Modularity Theorem of which Wiles’ methods has proved important cases. He received a Presidential Early Career Award for that work, and is a prominent expert in several areas of modern number theory. He has also served for many years as the Director of Undergraduate Studies for Math at Stanford, communicating with colleagues across many quantitative fields to ensure math courses address the needs of students from many disciplines.
