This archival website is dedicated to Marshall Richards Ransom. Marshall was the project manager for CCTT. During his career he taught mathematics from middle school through university. Marshall also worked for over two decades as a College Board AP-Calculus reader and table leader. We would like to remember him for his leadership, scholarship, and friendship. He will be missed by so many.
