Rate My Professor Steven Edwards

Steven Edwards serves as Professor Emeritus of Mathematics at Kennesaw State University. He earned a Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of Virginia, a Master of Science in Mathematics from Southern Illinois University at Carbondale, and a Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Arts from St. John's College in Annapolis. Throughout his tenure at the university, he has contributed to the Mathematics Department by teaching advanced undergraduate courses such as Topology (Math 4596), Linear Algebra, and Introduction to Logic, Sets, and Proofs.

Edwards' research interests include geometry and topology, the Fibonacci numbers and related recurrent sequences, the history of mathematics especially ancient Greek and Egyptian mathematics, problems in doubly-recursive sequences, their applications, and their relation to Pascal's Triangle, as well as generalized Delannoy numbers taken modulo a prime which result in fractal patterns. He has also explored mathematical tilings. In collaboration with William Griffiths, he co-authored several papers: "Delannoy Constructions" in the Journal of Integer Sequences (2024, Volume 27, Article 24.1.8), "On Generalized Delannoy Numbers" (2020, Volume 23, Article 20.3.6), "Generalizations of Delannoy and Cross Polytope Numbers" in The Fibonacci Quarterly (2017, Volume 55, No. 4), and "A Combinatorial Identity Related to Cross Polytope Numbers" (2016, Volume 54, No. 3). Additionally, he published "Proof Without Words: An Infinite Series Using Golden Triangles" in The College Mathematics Journal (2014, Volume 45, No. 2). His work has inspired undergraduate student research at Kennesaw State University on topics including lattice paths and triangulations of polygons. Edwards links to organizations such as the Fibonacci Association and Pi Mu Epsilon, indicating his involvement in the mathematical community.
