Dr. Jesse Smith is an Assistant Professor of Mathematics at Maryville College, affiliated with the Division of Math & Computer Science. He earned a B.A. in Mathematics and Computer Science from Maryville College and a Ph.D. in Abstract Algebra from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
- Education: B.A., Maryville College; Ph.D., University of Tennessee, Knoxville
His research focuses on the interplay between graph theory and ring theory, particularly zero-divisor graphs and their generalizations to ideal-based zero-divisor graphs. He has classified finite commutative rings with planar ideal-based zero-divisor graphs. Additional interests include zero-dimensional rings, von Neumann regular rings, and the application of 3D printing in mathematical education. He explores interdisciplinary connections, such as statistical analysis of the Golden Ratio’s aesthetic appeal in art.
Recent publications examine structural properties of zero-divisor graphs and ideal-based generalizations. Dr. Smith co-advises the Maryville College 3D Printing Club (MC3D) and mentors undergraduate research projects in mathematics and computer science, including topics like Hartree-Fock equations optimization with student Jenna Delozier.
