You have reached the web page of Karl Cooper, parent, teacher, student, theologian, mathematician, and engineer (in roughly that order of importance).  This web page is a work in progress, and over time will provide you with information about me, what I am thinking and doing, and what I like.

I work at an engineering company in New England and teach at a small college in New England; most of my academic degrees were also earned in New England. I have degrees in history, theology, and mathematics.

I have taught theology, mathematics, New Testament, Greek, Latin, philosophy, chemistry, and history, at various levels ranging from seventh grade to graduate school.

I am currently teaching a study class on the papal encyclical Rerum novarum. If any of the members of my class do not yet have a copy of this document, you can get it here:
Encyclical Letter of Pope Leo XIII On Capital and Labor

For the next meeting, March 15, we will focus on sections 31 through 40; the overall topic will be "State." If you have the Daughters of St. Paul edition, look for paragraph numbers 46 to 57.

If you would like to get in touch with me, you will need to know that I live in the largest city in New Hampshire and that I am listed in the telephone directory.  (Posting this information is the closest I have come to making personal contact information available on the web.  If it results in a flood of unwanted contacts, I will remove the information; but if you are friendly and interested in what I have posted, feel free to call.)

Although I do not often post links on my webpage, I encourge readers of this page to read the following article:
ObamaCare and Catholic social teaching
