Terrel Trotter, Jr.  (1941 – September 29th, 2004)

Terry (Terrel) Trotter, Jr. was born 1941 in Kansas. In 1955, he was severely struck by polio, and he got around in an electric wheelchair from then on. In 1965, he graduated from Southwestern College, a small 4-year college in south-central Kansas, and he began teaching math and social studies in small towns.

In 1981 he moved to El Salvador to work at the Escuela Americana in San Salvador.

He passed away at September 29th, 2004: see Tribute to Terry Trotter - A true Pythagorean - a Mathematikoi - a wonderful sharing and loving person, by T. Marsh.

Terrel Trotter maintained a website trottermath.net called The World of TROTTER MATH (WTM) which is still active, but it seems to be abandonned after 2011, and hacked in 2017. The site had many mathematical articles. He defined several OEIS sequences, and more than 30 OEIS sequences link to his articles.

In order to make the WTM accessible again, I created a copy with the HTML files from the Internet archive of 2004/2005, and the images from the current (WordPress based and hacked) site. The copy should be clean. I even removed malicious links in Terry's files of 2004. You may access the WTM by Terry's original files index.html, the contents.html, links.html, and a new file hidden_contents.html. Furthermore, I stored the whole directory structure of this restored WTM in trottermath.net.zip. --Georg Fischer (talk) 14:43, 7 April 2018 (EDT)
