Nathan McNew

Nathan McNew is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Towson University. His research focuses on Cryptography, Combinatorics, and Analytic Number Theory, with notable contributions to prime factor distribution, geometric progression-free sets, and divisor graph analysis. He holds a Ph.D. in Mathematics from Dartmouth College (2015) and a B.S. in Mathematics from the University of Denver (2010).

Education

• Ph.D., Mathematics, Dartmouth College, 2015
• B.S., Mathematics, University of Denver, 2010

Research Interests

McNew’s work bridges combinatorial methods with number-theoretic problems, particularly in analyzing distributions of prime factors, geometric progression avoidance, and multiplicative structures in integers. Recent studies include:

• Intermediate prime factor distributions in number fields
• Powerfree polynomial behavior in finite fields
• Explicit bounds for gaps between square/cubefree integers
