The Mathematics faculty at Colby teach courses and engage in research in pure mathematics, applied mathematics, and statistics. Our interests include algebraic topology, number theory, group theory, probability, operator theory, mathematical biology, and history of mathematics.
All email addresses are (at) colby.edu; to discourage spammers, we have not made them into links.
Occasionally, the faculty sabbatical schedule comes in handy.
