Mathematics Faculty

B.S. Presbyterian College, M.S. North Carolina State University. Interests include Abstract Algebra, Math History, juggling, and Aikido, a Japanese martial art. Convicted of a crime I didn't commit, freed by a twist of fate, I must now roam from town to town seeking the mysterious one-armed man I saw fleeing the scene and evading the dogged pursuit of Inspector Gerard.

Math Professor Finds Magic in Squares

Legend has it that magic squares were discovered by the Chinese emperor Yu in 2200 B.C. Today, 4200 years later, UC Mathematics Professor Hossein Behforooz is unlocking the "mystical" properties of these remarkable mathematical tables, still found in nearly every culture in the world, featuring rows, columns, and diagonals that all add up to the same number.

Learn more about Professor Behforooz's research.

"The educational background and professors at UC provided me with a grounding that has been very helpful in the career that is heavily based on math."
