Kedar Nepal

Dr. Kedar Nepal serves as Associate Professor of Mathematics in Mercer University's College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, specializing in undergraduate mathematics education since joining the faculty in 2014. His instructional portfolio includes calculus sequences, differential equations, probability, statistics, and advanced mathematics transition courses.

His academic credentials feature:

• Ph.D. in Mathematics (specialization: Undergraduate Mathematics Education) from Oklahoma State University
• M.S. in Applied Mathematics from Oklahoma State University
• M.S. in Pure Mathematics from Tribhuvan University, Kathmandu, Nepal
• B.S. in Mathematics from Tribhuvan University, Kathmandu, Nepal

Dr. Nepal's research investigates self-regulated learning mechanisms in undergraduate mathematics, with emphasis on self-assessment accuracy, metacognitive monitoring, and problem-solving execution. His work examines how students evaluate their mathematical competence and implement learning strategies, particularly in foundational courses. Current projects explore digital learning tools' impact on calculus comprehension and pre-K educational content development.

His publication history (2014-2020) reveals consistent focus on self-regulation in mathematics education, with recurring themes in assessment literacy, problem-solving barriers, and instructor development. Key contributions analyze web-based homework efficacy, self-assessment/performance correlations, and cognitive obstacles in mathematical reasoning.

Dr. Nepal maintains active engagement with collegiate mathematics education communities through conference presentations and collaborative research. Outside academia, he pursues travel, college football, and developing multimedia learning resources for early childhood education.
