Daniel Cunningham

Daniel Cunningham is a Lecturer in the Department of Mathematics at California State University, Fresno (Fresno State), located within the College of Science and Mathematics. He holds a Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). His research focuses on Set Theory, Mathematical Logic, and the Axiom of Determinacy. Cunningham teaches advanced courses such as Real Analysis, Differential Equations, and Abstract Algebra, emphasizing foundational mathematical concepts and proof strategies.

His professional biography highlights expertise in areas including Set Theory's axiomatic foundations, formal logic systems, and the interplay between determinacy principles and advanced set-theoretic constructs. He has authored multiple textbooks, including Set Theory: a first course and Real analysis: with proof strategies, reflecting his commitment to pedagogical clarity in complex subjects.

Cunningham’s scholarly contributions span over three decades, with articles exploring forcing principles, diamond principles under determinacy, and core concepts in analysis and algebra. His work often bridges foundational theory with educational methodologies, as seen in papers like Why does trigonometric substitution work? and Proof Strategies and Diagrams.

He maintains an active presence in academic communities through Google Scholar and a personal webpage dedicated to Set Theory resources. His teaching load for Fall 2025 includes courses on Principles of Algebra and Differential Equations.
