Mary McCammon, Professor Emerita of Mathematics, played a key role in the development of the Penn State undergraduate mathematics curriculum. She taught mathematics at the University from 1954 to her retirement in 1998, introducing such new classes as numerical analysis and computer programming. In the 1960s, she developed the mathematics department's precalculus courses, made changes to the calculus-course series, and introduced the use of graphing calculators and personal computers. She also was involved with the establishment of computer-science courses in the Department of Mathematics and went on to help establish the Department of Computer Science in 1965. Throughout her career, McCammon has been well known for her personal concern for her students and her excellent and exacting teaching methods. "I was tough but fair and I loved teaching," she says. "
