Bio
Dr. Mark Buckles joined Northeastern State University in 2002 as an Assistant Professor
of Mathematic in the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, and has since
gained tenure and been promoted to Associate Professor.
Education:
- MS, Mathematics, Notre Dame, 2002
- PhD, Mathematics, Notre Dame, 2002
- BS, Mathematics, University of Texas at Austin, 1996
My research interests include Algebraic Geometry, Set Theory, and Modern Algebra.
I am currently working with custom software I wrote that draws Cayley graphs for finite
groups. I am also studying computable ordinals.
I teach classes ranging from the freshman level to the graduate level. I enjoy teaching
a wide variety of math classes.
