Norton A. Levy

It is with great sadness that I heard of Norton Levy's passing. He was a major influence in my life as a teenager and in my choice of a career as a math teacher. Here are a few of many memories:

-SMSG (Some Math, Some Garbage) - New Math - I may have been among the few to enjoy it.

-Norton tracking students down in lunch hall to give them an assignment that they missed.

-Working with him to compile a list of people in the community with careers in math and science...

Norton Levy's Favorite Problem as told to Steve Winter in August 2007.

For all of those former students of Mr. Levy here is your last chance for extra credit!

Consider a cube of side length = 1.
Balance it on one vertex on a plane.
Consider the projection of the cube in this orientation on the plane.
What is the shape of the projection and what is its area?
A projection here is that set of points on the plane a perpendicular from which passes through the cube.

Norton was a wonderful example of Latin School and its influence on others. He dedicated himself to students and academia.We will miss him. Marvin Axelrod

To the family of "Mr. Levy": I am so sorry for your loss. Our loss. All students' loss. I was in the first freshman class of Concord-Carlisle and he was one of my first high school teachers. It was 1960. Honors Algebra I. He got through to me like no teacher I had ever known. What a guy. I've never forgotten him. I still remember his classes and, in my mind, I can still see him at the board as clearly now as then. AND, I still remember everything he taught me. Thanks for sharing...

My sincerest condolences to Norton's family. I remember him well from our days at BLS. Elliot Shapiro, Buffalo NY

May he rest in peace.

Norton Levy:

A great great teacher.
Immensely dedicated.
Highly motivating.
Inspiring.
The best teacher I ever had.
Many students became as much as they could become because of Norton Levy.

Once in high school several of the math team guys signed up for "auto mechanics" as an elective (we were turning 16 and getting driver's licenses) ... but none of us were very surprised or protested when our class assignments came out and we were scheduled for "math club"...

I am really sorry for your loss. Norton was a very cool
guy. We will miss the chance to work with Norton at Waldorf.

Dear Jocelyn, Richard, Jake and Maya,

You are in our hearts and prayers at this very difficult time. We are very sorry for your loss.

Jodi, Beth and Jacob
