Professor Hofmann received his Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of New Hampshire, specializing in abstract algebra. Professor Hofmann maintains an active research program focusing on finite group theory, and he has published a number of papers in this area. Professor Hofmann was instrumental in the development of the course MA 215 Bridge to Advanced Mathematics, which introduces students to concepts of abstract mathematics and proof techniques. He also teaches a course in the liberal studies program that examines the mathematical ideas inherent in the art of M.C. Escher. Professor Hofmann was department chair from fall 2000 to spring 2005.
