Biography:
Dr. Hammett taught at the college level for seven years before coming to Cedarville in 2015. His area of expertise is combinatorial probability, which typically involves analyzing a randomly selected element from a large, finite collection of similarly constructed objects. He maintains an active research program and has supervised numerous undergraduate research projects. These projects usually involve a combination of theoretical mathematics and computer programming. Dr. Hammett also maintains connections to organizations espousing free-market economics. He is an active member of the American Enterprise Institute’s network of Christian scholars, Values & Capitalism.
