معرفی
David Molnar is an Associate Teaching Professor of Mathematics at Rutgers University, specializing in teaching and research at the intersection of games, fractions, and graph theory. He earned his undergraduate degree at Wesleyan University in Middletown, CT, and completed his graduate studies at the University of Connecticut (UConn). Molnar participated in the Budapest Semesters program as a junior, which he highly recommends.
His teaching experience spans multiple institutions, including The College of the Holy Cross, St. Olaf College, Gustavus Adolphus College, The College of St. Benedict and St. John's University, and the University of Puget Sound (UPS). At Rutgers, he teaches courses such as Math 300 (Math Reasoning), Math 312 (Real Analysis, part II), and others like Math 135, 151, 152, 191, 192, 244, 251, 252, 351, and 428. He also served on the organizing committee for the New Jersey Undergraduate Mathematics Competition and was on the editorial panel for the journal Game and Puzzle Design, which is now on indefinite hiatus.
Molnar's research interests include ergodic theory applied to continued fractions and connection games like Atoll, which involve graph theory. While he notes that balancing research with teaching is challenging, he remains open to pursuing further work in these areas. His Erdős number is 5. He maintains a non-course-specific Sakai site for student resources, occasionally sharing practice exams and other materials.
