James Huard

Dr. Huard's research interests are mainly in number theory, especially algebraic and elementary number theory. This interest was sparked in high school at an NSF-sponsored summer institute, reinforced with an honors thesis at the University of Maine, and then doctoral study at Penn State under the supervision of Professor S. Chowla. He is proud to have honored Chowla's memory by co-editing his Collected Papers.

Dr. Huard especially enjoys teaching courses that include some number theory, such as Abstract Algebra and Logic, Set Theory and Proofs. He often teaches Calculus 2 in the calculus sequence.

For many years Dr. Huard has been involved with the actuarial program, now led by Dr. Lopez who has worked as an actuary.
