Jared McBride
Assistant Professor of Mathematics
“I specialize in applied math, which is a rich and needed subject that seeks to bring theoretical mathematics to bear on difficult problems of other fields of study. In my teaching, I try hard to engage the students in thinking deeply about mathematics. I emphasize the gift that it is to be a student and to devote most of your time to learning and developing.”
