Scott Smith, Ph.D.

Associate Professor, Mathematics

Dr. Scott Smith

I am a native Texan with a wonderful wife and two young sons. In my time away from campus, I love to read (especially Dostoevsky, Tolkien, Philip K. Dick, early Church Fathers and Orthodox theological works). I am a part of several metal music projects, and I am working on my second novel. I also attempt to play disc golf and learn German, Russian and Welsh.
