Speaker Series: Dr. Skyler Simmons

From Calendars to Calculus...and Beyond!
Dr. Skyler Simmons; Associate Professor, Mathematics

October 2, 2025 - 1:00pm

Join us on a journey of thousands of years of discovery and mathematical innovation as we outline the development of our understanding of the motion of bodies in space. From ancient monuments like Stonehenge, to Newton’s development of calculus, and on to modern physical and mathematical developments, we’ll explore it all! (Although mathematics will be discussed, no prerequisite mathematical knowledge will be required.)

Skyler Simmons received his Ph.D. in mathematics from Brigham Young University in 2015. His research area is dynamical systems, with a particular emphasis in celestial mechanics. Aside from his interest in mathematics, he also enjoys playing the piano, computer programming, chess, and 3D printing.
