David Seff

David Seff is an accomplished business professional with over than 40 years of experience in education, finance, insurance, and technology. He is well-recognized for his skills in computer programing, with specialities in critical Disaster Recover and full-system life-cycle programming, from initial analysis and design to unit testing, implementation, coding, user training, and system testing. David Seff’s natural talent with numbers and recognizing patterns has helped him develop into a successful, detail-oriented professional with a wide variety of knowledge.

After David Seff was selected as one of one-hundred students nationwide for the National Science Foundation program, which allows high-school level students to take doctorate-level graduate courses in math, David Seff decided to pursue his studies with a focus in math as he continued his education. David received his B.A. in Mathematics and Physics with honors from Yeshiva University in New York City. During this time, he was selected for Who’s Who in American Colleges and Universities in both his junior and senior years, as well as the national math honorary society Pi Mu Epsilon.

David Seff went on to receive a M.S. in Mathematics at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at New York University while simultaneously receiving a M.A. in History from Yeshiva University.

For nearly three decades, David Seff designed and taught several courses in math and physics at the New School in the evening math and science department, until the evening science department was disbanded. David Seff taught a course called “Fun With Math” which had a prerequisite of “a distaste for mathematics” which had full enrollment and rave reviews for years. In this course, David Seff showed many things that seem counter-intuitive and showed how and why they exist. For example, he showed the students how to make a piece of paper that actually only has one side and a rectangular array of numbers which when added up first by rows and then by columns gives one sum, but when added first by columns and then rows gives a different sums—that is, it is a bunch of numbers whose sum changes if the order in which they are added up changes!

David Seff has always been curious and interested in almost everything. In fact, David used to enjoy reading through the unabridged Encyclopedia Britannica when was in fourth grade. David Seff is most interested in astronomy and gardening.
