Dr. Gary Raduns
Professor of Mathematical Sciences; Department of Computer Science, Mathematics, & Physics Chair
Enjoyed having him as a professor. He lets you know his office hours and is always willing to help. He makes a lot of funny math jokes to keep the class entertained.
Profile
Professor Raduns enjoys most things mathematical. His particular interests are analysis, probability, and matrices over commutative rings. However, plan to spend a few extra minutes in his office if you ask about graph theory, fair division, or voting. When he isn’t occupied with activities related to teaching or learning mathematics he enjoys playing musical instruments, golfing, bowling, gardening, or just relaxing with his family.
Gary has two married children and one grandchild. He worships at Grace Church of the Nazarene where he plays bass guitar and has held various lay leadership roles.
Education is not the learning of facts, but the training of the mind to think.
