Professor Erik Tou specializes in analytic number theory and the history of mathematics. His number-theoretic research covers a wide range of topics, from the calculus of complex functions to matrix algebra. Prof. Tou currently serves as Chief Historian of the Euler Archive, a scholarly organization devoted to the collection, digitization, and translation of the works of 18th century Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler. He is also treasurer for the Euler Society (an international organization of historians of science and mathematics), and serves as editor of the society's quarterly newsletter.
Prof. Tou received a Ph.D. in mathematics from Dartmouth College in 2007, after earning an M.A. in mathematics from Dartmouth in 2004. He earned a B.A. in mathematics from Gustavus Adolphus College in 2002. He joined the Carthage faculty in 2007.
