Bir B. Kafle, Ph.D.
Associate Professor of Mathematics
Introduction
Bir Kafle is an associate professor of mathematics. His research focuses on the field of number theory. He enjoys teaching both lower and upper level mathematics courses.
Research Overview
Kafle’s research interests lie in the field of number theory. This is one of the most fascinating and oldest fields of mathematics, with some of the results dating back to thousands of years. In simple terms, number theory is concerned with the study of integers, in particular, the prime numbers and generalizations thereof. He is particularly interested in Algebraic Number Theory.
