Dr. Jean Bernard Nganou
Biography
My interest in teaching Mathematics began when I was about to enter College. After my Master degree, I taught High school Mathematics for two years before leaving for pre-Ph.D. diploma in Italy. After the diploma, I entered graduate school at New Mexico State University, where I earned by doctorate in Mathematics. I enjoy teaching Mathematics, especially algebra related courses. I also love collaborating in doing Mathematical research, whether it is with my students or with my colleagues.
Degrees Earned
Ph.D. in Mathematics, New Mexico State University
Masters in Mathematics, University of Yaounde 1
Diploma in Mathematics, ICTP, Trieste, Italy
Bachelor's in Mathematics, University of Yaounde 1
Experience Qualifications
My primary and current research work are in the general spirit of algebras of logic, universal algebras, non-classical algebras, the non-classical logic including fuzzy algebra, fuzzy logic, hyperstructures, and applications. My secondary area of interest on division algebras and the Brauer groups. It has been and continues to be my goal to introduce undergraduate students to Mathematical research. I strongly believe that doing so will stimulate more desire in students to study Mathematics.
