This article is about the American mathematician. For the British news correspondent, see

Carol Lee Walker (born 1935) is a retired American mathematician and mathematics textbook author. Walker's early mathematical research, in the 1960s and 1970s, concerned the theory of
abelian groups. In the 1990s, her interests shifted to
fuzzy logic and
fuzzy control systems.[1]
After postdoctoral research at the
Institute for Advanced Study, she returned to Mexico State University as an assistant professor in 1964, and quickly earned tenure as an associate professor in 1966. She was promoted to full professor in 1972. She chaired the Department of Mathematical Sciences from 1979 to 1993, and served as associate dean of arts and sciences from 1993 until her retirement in 1996.[1]
