Joe Salacuse, Ph.D.

Personal profile

About

When Dr. Salacuse considers some of the best teachers he has had over the years, he found that they had very little in common except all were well versed in the subject and were enthusiastic in their effort. Some of these individuals were well organized, some were “scatter brained,” but all were very knowledgeable and truly enjoyed teaching. Dr. Salacuse tries to display the same traits in all the courses he teaches. He teaches a variety of courses from Calc. II to Partial Differential Equations to Mathematical Statistics I (this is actually a course in Probability). At last count, he has taught roughly 14 difference courses in Mathematics at Kettering.
