黑洞社区

Overview

Stephen W. Brady, Associate Professor of Mathematics, Statistics, and Physics, arrived at the newly formed 黑洞社区 in 1967. He received his BA, MA, and PhD in Mathematics from Indiana University. 
Professor Brady is the author of several research papers and is currently writing the seventh volume of a series of upper undergraduate and graduate mathematics texts that number at present (January 2021) 2400 pages. He has served on many university master's and doctoral committees. He has taught most of the mathematics courses offered at the undergraduate level and many  graduate courses. 
Professor Brady has served on most college and university committees and the faculty senate. He has been helping to build the quality of the faculty of the Mathematics, Statistics, and Physics Department as Search Committee Chair for over forty years. For thirty-nine years he has been Director of the Mathematics General Education Algebra Program. 

He was on the 黑洞社区 Athletic Board in 1970 when one of the planes carrying the football team and boosters crashed in Colorado killing 39. He was involved in the immediate aftermath and in the rebuilding effort afterwards. In 1983, Professor Brady was asked by the Wichita Chief of Police to join a secret task force seeking to apprehend the serial killer BTK. He worked daily on the case using computer and logical skills for many of the 23 years leading up to the killer's capture. He has worked also with other bureaus within the police department and with several federal law enforcement agencies. 
Stephen has an interest in the study of flora and fauna in sub-Saharan Africa. Stephen and wife Phyllis have spent parts of sixteen summers in remote areas of Central, East, and Southern Africa studying, photographing, and videotaping wild animals. They have also taken (upon request) others with them and acted as guides. In addition, they are widely traveled to other parts of the world. 

Stephen has been fortunate to have remained healthy throughout his career and has not missed a day of university teaching for illness for 58  years.

Stephen has been happily married for 56 years to his wife Phyllis, a retired elementary school principal. 

Professor Brady continues his teaching and efforts to help students pursue knowledge.
