Casey Sherman is an Assistant Professor of Mathematics. Currently he is serving as a co-Chair of the SOURCE committee, as well as on Academic Council and the Curriculum Committee. In teaching he focuses on standards based and specifications grading, and in practice his emphasis is on using class time well, which oftens leads to a flipped or semi-flipped classroom. In research he focuses on the boundary between dynamical systems and topology.
Casey was born in Fort Worth, went to school at Baylor University in Waco, and came straight to St. Edward's in Austin. Though he went to college for trumpet performance, thinking music would be his life, he switched to Mathematics after a year and hasn't looked back. He ended up meeting his wonderful wife and having his amazing son while at Baylor. Now he focuses on teaching and his family (includes four dogs and three cats, and whatever else his wife gets attached to).
B.S. of Mathematics, Baylor University

Ph.D. of Mathematics, Baylor University
My primary interests lie in the intersection of topology and dynamical systems. I've also spent time looking at inverse limit spaces, and some basic game theory.
