Sarah-Marie Belcastro (aka sarah-marie belcastro, born 1970 in San Diego) is an American mathematician and book author. She is an instructor at the Art of Problem Solving Online School[1] and is the director of Bryn Mawr's residential summer program MathILy.[2] Although her doctoral research was in algebraic geometry, she has also worked extensively in topological graph theory.[3] She is known for and has written extensively about mathematical knitting, and has co-edited three books on fiber mathematics.[4] She herself exclusively uses the form "sarah-marie belcastro".[5][6]

Biography

Belcastro was born in San Diego, CA in 1970, and grew up mostly in Andover, MA, and in Dubuque, IA.[6] She earned a B.S. (1991) in Mathematics and Astronomy from Haverford College, an M.S. (1993) from The University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, and a Ph.D. (1997) there for a thesis on “Picard Lattices of Families of K3 Surfaces” done with Igor Dolgachev.[7]

Since 2012, she has also been an instructor at the Art of Problem Solving Online School.[1] Since 2013, she has been the director of Bryn Mawr College's residential summer program MathILy (serious Mathematics Infused with Levity).[2] She is also a guest faculty member at Sarah Lawrence College.

She was Associate Editor for The College Mathematics Journal (2003—2019). She has also lectured frequently at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst since 2012.[8][9]
