Arthur E. Bukowski

Dr. Bukowski was my math teacher at UAA. I would not have pursued math but for him. He made it fun and made it real. My first and best mentor!

Thank you, Art, for all your help in guiding me into my degrees in Math & Education. It took a lot of work to get them both in 3 years, and it would have been impossible without your encouragement, guidance and support. Thanks, also, for your help in the early years with the "stats" at the Great Alaska Shootout.

I also took Calculus 3 from Dr. Bukowski and to this day I remember the " Algebra, Algebra, Algebra" chant. He was entertaining and would flip the chairs upside down to demonstrate points. I remember trying to demonstrate to my mother using open kitchen cabinets and a banana to show her what Calculus 3 was all about. He had great enthusiasm and it was evident in his teaching. He cared for his students and I count myself as lucky to have been amoung them. My thoughts are with his family, A...

I would not have passed Calculus or graduated with my accounting degree, if it hadn't been for Dr. Bukowski. He was a wonderful teacher. I'm very sorry to hear of his passing.

Oh I'm sorry to hear of Art's passing. I was just thinking of him the other day even though I haven't had any contact with the family since the late 80's (I used to coach his son Steve, in swimming). My sincere and heartfelt condolences to the family.

So sorry to hear of Art's passing. He was a nice guy and good neighbor in Alaska for many years. His son, Steve, visited often with us. I now live in PA and sometimes in Florida, which is where I am as I write this. Blessings to his family.

Sorry to hear about Art. We both loved his laugh and his wonderful personality. We have truly lost a good person.

"Algebra, Algebra, Algebra" he constantly chanted to us in Calculus classes at UAA. I passed Calculus 3 which used 3 dimensions because he was dedicated to teaching. After 3 visits to his office I was able to draw the "saddle" and then I could set up and solve the problems.He wouldn't let his students give up on themselves. "The mind is a terrible thing to use, or is it lose." The Far Side quotes and eye catching ties made even the most distract able focus on the teacher and pay attention to...

Dr. Bukowski was a great professor and an incredible person to be around. He could keep a class awake, learning and entertained, even in the earliest of classes. An intelligent world traveler and a loving Husband and Dad!
