Flath's research has been primarily in algebra with a focus on representation
theory.
He is also very active in efforts to reform and invigorate calculus teaching, both by the
inclusion of applications that are meaningful to students and by going beyond analytical
techniques to methods based on graphical and numerical input. He has also looked in to
the mathematical needs of biology students.
EDUCATION: B.S., M.S., Southern Methodist University; M.A., Ph.D., Harvard University
