Meet the Mathematics Faculty

The members of the Knox mathematics faculty bring a wide variety of training and experience. Their research and performance interests are listed below, with additional information and e-mail contacts on each person's linked profile page.

Andrew Leahy, Chair
Associate Professor of Mathematics
Ph.D., Rutgers University, 1994
"My current research centers on the historical development of mathematical ideas in calculus and modern algebra."

Kevin Hastings
Professor of Mathematics
Ph.D., Northwestern University, 1981
"My mathematical interests focus on applications to real world problems that are affected by random inputs or disturbances. If you think about it, very little in this world can be predicted with complete certainty."

Mary Vlastnik Armon
Associate Professor of Mathematics
Ph.D., University of Michigan, 1994

Pedro Teixeira
Associate Professor of Mathematics
Ph.D., Brandeis University, 2002

Brent Solie
Visiting Assistant Professor of Mathematics
Ph.D., University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2011
"My field is geometric group theory, which sits at the intersection of geometry and modern algebra. Groups are abstract objects which let us generalize operations like addition and multiplication."
