Marilyn Janet Breen (born 1944)[1] is a professor of mathematics at the University of Oklahoma.[2] Her research involves geometry, including visibility and orthogonal polygons.

Life and work

Breen graduated in 1966 from Agnes Scott College,[2] and received her Ph.D. from Clemson University in 1970 under the supervision of William Ray Hare Jr.[3] She joined the Oklahoma faculty in 1971 and was promoted to full professor in 1982.[2]

Awards and honors

In her time at Rutger, Breen won several awards for teaching and research, including an "outstanding teacher" award.[4]

In 2012, Breen became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.[5]
