Mike’s research interests are in module theory, commutative algebra, and the history of mathematics. His studies in the history of mathematics are focused on the quadrature of lunes, which most recently involves the translation from Latin of papers by Daniel Bernoulli and Leonard Euler, and German translations of the works of 10th century Persian mathematician Ibn al-Haytham. Mike is working on a paper with theologian Phil Devenish focusing on Charles Hartshorne’s and Alfred North Whitehead’s ideas of time and the connectedness of nature. His current research in pure mathematics centers on the divisibility theory of commutative rings. Recent papers in this area with Hungarian mathematician Pham Ngoc Anh include “Gauss’s Lemma and Valuation Theory” and “Bezout Rings With a Single M-Prime Filter.”
