Mike Pinter, Ph.D.
I have been a faculty member at Belmont since 1989. In my years at Belmont, I have had several other positions in addition to serving as a faculty member. From 1998-2002, I was Associate Dean for the School of Sciences. I’m currently serving as Director of the Teaching Center; in June 2006, I’ll return full-time to my mathematics teaching position. In addition to regularly teaching general education mathematics courses (which fulfill the quantitative reasoning component of the BELL Core), I teach Analytics for students in the Honors Program and a First-Year Seminar course that focuses on issues related to limitations (including disabilities). My professional interests include quantitative reasoning across the curriculum, discrete mathematics, and the pedagogy of mathematics instruction.
I am married to Robbie Pinter, Professor of English at Belmont. Our son Nicholas (age 12) is in the 6 th grade at JT Moore Middle School during 2005-06. My post-secondary degrees include a B.A. from Hendrix College in Conway, Arkansas, an M.Ed. in College Student Personnel Work from the University of Mississippi, and both an M.S. and Ph.D. in mathematics from Vanderbilt University (graph theory was my Ph.D. thesis area). My interests include sports fan (especially St. Louis Cardinals baseball and Tennessee Titans football), reading and work with our church.
I'd like to contact Dr. Pinter.
