Hugh Griffith

I obtained a B.A. degree in 1989 from U.C. Berkeley, and an M.S. degree in 1996 from Cal State LA, both in pure mathematics. I started my teaching career in 1990 at the high school level, working for Los Angeles Unified School District. Then in 1998 I found my true home at Mt. SAC. I truly enjoy teaching mathematics at all levels, from basic math through calculus. I enjoy meeting students who come from a wide variety of backgrounds, and who learn in so many different ways. I believe that Mt. SAC is the best place in the world to teach and learn mathematics!

I am so excited that you have decided to take Calculus and Analytic Geometry I ! Your success is important to me, so to help prepare you for the next part of your educational journey, I would like to share some information with you about my courses and classroom environments.
