Scott Stevens
Assistant Professor, Mathematics
Teaching and Research Interests:
medical applications of numerical analysis
Favorite aspect of teaching at Champlain:
“When I can say, ‘Today I really nailed it.’”
It all adds up
“Few students are interested in how the Central Limit Theorem allows us to solve this problem,” admits Assistant Professor Scott Stevens. “If you don’t understand the fundamental principles, then you have to memorize the rules—and not take too much time off.” Instead, “Some get lost. They should come to me sooner. It’s a tough hole, and it can happen to anyone, especially if they’ve missed some classes.”
To keep students interested, he mixes up brief lectures with problem solving and handouts listing major bullet points. If math is still a mystery to you, says Scott, there’s one solution: do it methodically.
