Rate My Professor Anthony DeLegge

DeLegge's research specializations encompass epidemiological models developed using systems of differential equations and studies in games and probability. Among his current projects are an analysis of the effects of vaccine misinformation on disease spread, begun in spring 2021; a modeling of social media competition in “Will Facebook Be #1 Forever?” which accounts for users participating on multiple networks; and “Come On Down! The Math Behind TV Game Shows,” which examines the mathematics and probability in shows like The Price is Right and Press Your Luck. He teaches a diverse array of undergraduate courses, including College Algebra, Calculus, Differential Equations, Discrete Mathematics, Theory of Interest, Special Topics in Graph Theory, Writing Colloquium, and Gambling in the U.S. Notable publications include “Mathematics in the Humanities: A Survey of Two Courses to Address Math Appreciation in Students” (PRIMUS, 2022); “The Math Games Seminar: A Mathematical Learning Community” (Journal of Humanistic Mathematics, 2021, with Ellen Ziliak); “Is this the end for Facebook? A mathematical analysis” (Applied Mathematics and Computation, 2017); and “The Man Who “Whammied” Press Your Luck” (Math Horizons, 2012).
