EPP received her Ph.D. in 1968 from the University of Chicago, taught briefly at Boston University and the University of Illinois at Chicago, and is currently professor of mathematical sciences at DePaul University. After initial research in commutative algebra, she became fascinated by the cognitive issues associated with teaching analytical thinking and proof and has made their exploration the primary focus of her professional work. She was coauthor of Precalculus and Discrete Mathematics, which was developed as part of the University of Chicago School Mathematics Project, and is now preparing her widely used book Discrete Mathematics with Applications for a third edition. Long active in the Mathematical Association of America, she is a member of the writing group developing the new set of curricular guidelines, Undergraduate Programs and Courses in the Mathematical Sciences: CUPM Curriculum Guide 2004.
