Stephen Featherstonhaugh was born and raised in Vermont. He studied Physics for his Bachelor of Science degree at Norwich University. He worked briefly for the Learning Center at Vermont Technical College before getting a Masters of Science in Mathematics at UVM and a Doctorate in Mathematics at The University At Albany. He began working at BMCC in 2003.
Doctor Featherstonhaugh is concentrating on Calculus and Developmental Algebra. His goals are to improve the Calculus Lab experience for students and improve passing rates in Developmental Algebra. Doctor Featherstonhaugh’s research interest is in Galois Module Theory and Number Theory.
While at home, Doctor Featherstonhaugh enjoys raising his two children and photography.
