Luke Fredericks

Luke Fredericks is a Visiting Assistant Professor of Mathematics in the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at Berry College. He teaches a range of undergraduate mathematics courses including Precalculus, Calculus, Abstract Algebra, and Elementary Statistics.

His research focuses on number theory, particularly the theory of elliptic curves over finite fields. He is also deeply interested in innovative pedagogical approaches such as inquiry-based learning and mastery-based grading, with a strong emphasis on statistics education.

Dr. Fredericks entered college at the pre-algebra level and worked his way up to becoming a mathematics major. He earned a BS in Mathematics and a BA in French from California State University, Chico, and completed his Ph.D. at the University of California, Irvine, where his dissertation involved counting problems for elliptic curves over finite fields.

There are no recent publications listed, but his academic trajectory and teaching philosophy suggest a strong commitment to both mathematical research and student-centered learning.
