PROFESSOR KEVIN MITCHELL received his
Ph.D. in Mathematics at Brown University in 1980. His thesis,
Folding and Crimpings of Algebraic Varieties,
was in the area of Algebraic Geometry. Mitchell
joined the faculty of Hobart and William
Smith Colleges in the Fall of 1980. Current
areas of interest are: hyperbolic tilings and applications
of mathematics to environmental science. With departmental colleague David
Belding, Mitchell co-authored the text
Fundamentals of Analysis, which has been used in
Mathematics 331: Foundation of Analysis.
Much of his recent work has been done in conjunction with members of
the Department of Biology. This includes co-authoring
a text entitled
An Introduction to Biostatistics with colleague Thomas
Glover which has been
published by McGraw-Hill. He has co-authored
several articles on
topics ranging from "The Species-Area Relation" to "Measuring Stream
Discharge" which have been published by the Consoritium
for Mathematics and Its Applications.
Professor Mitchell retired from teaching in 2017.
