Nathan Carter

Nathan Carter uses computer science to advance mathematics. He is a past winner of the Mathematical Association of America's Henry L. Alder Award for Distinguished Teaching by a Beginning College or University Mathematics Faculty Member. His major projects have been books, beginning with Visual Group Theory (2009), which won the 2012 Beckenbach Book Prize from that same society. His second text, Introduction to the Mathematics of Computer Graphics (2016), was published by that same society and also won the Beckenbach Book Prize. His most recent book is an edited volume with many contributors, entitled Data Science for Mathematicians (2020), intended to help pure mathematicians make the transition into teaching and doing research in the ever-growing field of data science. He also writes open source mathematics software for university mathematics education in areas including mathematical logic and abstract algebra visualization.
