Mary Fowler
I joined Worcester State University Mathematics Department in 2004. I earned my Ph.D. in Statistics from Carnegie Mellon University in 1989. While I have enjoyed working as an applied statistician in many fields nothing brings me more joy than [...]
Jason A. Hardin
My research focuses on commutative algebra, homological algebra, and algebraic geometry, with particular interest in the algebraic properties of Ext*R(M, N) over complete intersections. I also study matrix factorizations and their applications in [...]
Hy Ginsberg
Most of my research has been in finite group theory, but I have recently become fascinated by "totally symmetric quasigroups," and in particular the problem of counting how many such objects exist for a set of a given size (recently published results [...]
