Welcome | This is the homepage of Adam Gilbert, Associate Professor of Mathematics at Southern New Hampshire University. I am interested in data science, discrete mathematics, and developing open educational resources (OER). You’ll find information on these topics as well as the courses I regularly teach scattered across these pages.

Hello, and welcome to my webpage! I am an Associate Professor of Mathematics at Southern New Hampshire University. While I earned my PhD in Mathematics under Dr. Nancy Eaton at the University of Rhode Island in 2013, my teaching responsibilities and interests have transitioned to data science over the past five years. In particular, I am interested in data science projects that promote the social good. The pages on this site contain information about the courses I teach, my current interests/endeavors, and information for people (particularly students) who are interested in working with me. I hope you’ll find something useful during your visit!

Course Information from Previous Semesters

You can find information about courses I’ve taught in previous semesters here.

Research With Undergraduates

Are you a current SNHU student who is interested in pursuing an undergraduate research project?I’m really interested in projects involving data science and machine learning, simulation and agent-based modeling, mathematical models, and anything involving graph theory or combinatiorial games. Check out this page for more on my interests, recent projects with students, and how to contact me if you are interested in working together.

Data Science and Machine Learning

I became interested in data science in 2016 and have (slowly) been transitioning my professional focus in this direction ever since. While I’m not much of a blogger, you’ll eventually be able to check in on what I’m up to here.

Other Initiatives

In addition to teaching undergraduate and graduate students at Southern New Hampshire University, I have pursued various external projects.

Faculty Upskilling Workshops

I have run several summer Faculty Upskilling workshops here at SNHU. These workshops are targeted at faculty from a variety of disciplines, spanning the humanities through the sciences. The two workshops I have run are below (links to the 2020 ML Workshop materials will be added at a later date).

Open Educational Resources (OER)

I am very passionate about high-quality open educational resources (OER). I have been working with OpenIntro.org to develop and enhance freely-available and open-source applied statistics content since 2015. Additionally, I am an OER Evangelist at Southern New Hampshire University.

I’ve also begun collaborating with two of my other colleagues from SNHU on an open-source and interactive text to accompany our Discrete Mathematics for Computing course at SNHU. This is a course designed for first-semester students whose majors involve computing (Computer Science, Game Programming and Development, Information Technology, Computer and Information Systems, etc.). You can see the current status of the draft text here.

Data Science Consulting

I have worked with Reaching Higher New Hampshire as a data science consultant since 2018 on a variety of projects related to the state of public education in New Hampshire as well as education funding in New Hampshire.

North Shore Undergraduate Mathematics Conference

I am on the Steering Committee for the North Shore Undergraduate Mathematics Conference (link to be added), a regional conference dedicated to making mathematics accessible to any math undergraduates, with participants from throughout eastern Massachusetts and New Hampshire.
