The Stevens Math Olympiad is a mathematics competition for local students in grades 3-12. It encourages them to solve mathematical and logical problems in creative ways, which nurtures creativity, problem-solving skills and excitement for mathematics. This year's Olympiad will be held on Saturday, May 19.
“People could do well in calculus but learn nothing,” professor and department chair Alexei Miasnikov told top higher education magazine Inside Higher Ed. That's why he and other Stevens professors including teaching assistant professor Jan Cannizzo banded together to create Gradarius and the Stevens Calculus System. Here's how they're helping…
MS visiting associate professor Rizos Sklinos is hosting a special session on logic and foundations of mathematics on June 27 and 28.
Teaching Assistant Professor Jan Cannizzo received the 2017 Harvey N. Davis Distinguished Professor award. "When teaching, I try to show my students that mathematics is not the mere manipulation of formulas, but something that is alive, accessible, inspired by the world around us and fascinating in its own right," he says. "It's an honor."
"I enjoy being a student at Stevens!" says Ph.D. student Denis Ovchinnikov. "The best part is the availability of endless opportunities for research, inside Stevens itself as well as with nearby schools like CUNY, Rutgers and Princeton."
Undergraduate student Kenneth Rexer wants to be a math professor. That's why he's working on problems like this one involving graph theory in his free time.
At Stevens, we do calculus differently. Students learn not only through lectures, but through team problem-solving sessions, self-study projects, innovative learning software, small class sizes and flexible schedules.
