Hutchinson is an established research mathematician, author and classroom teacher. Her work focuses on graph theory, combinatorics and related algorithms and computational geometry. She has written a book on discrete mathematics and numerous articles on graph theory and other subjects. She is the recipient of a National Security Agency grant to support her work which has significance in the fields of graphing and mapmaking. She encourages women to consider careers in mathematics and is in much demand as a speaker around the country. EDUCATION: B.A., Smith College, 1967; M.A., University of Pennsylvania, 1971; Ph.D., University of Pennsylvania, 1973 Hutchinson has been teaching at Macalester since 1990.
