Heidi Goodson
Assistant Professor
Brooklyn College, City University of New York
I'm an Assistant Professor and the Math Graduate Deputy in the Math Department at Brooklyn College. I received my PhD in Mathematics from the University of Minnesota. My research lies in the fields of number theory and arithmetic geometry. I identify as a first generation college graduate.
My interactions with students and colleagues are built up from the following axioms written by Professor Federico Ardila at San Francisco State University:
Axiom 1. Mathematical potential is distributed equally among different groups, irrespective of geographic, demographic, and economic boundaries.
Axiom 2. Everyone can have joyful, meaningful, and empowering mathematical experiences.
Axiom 3. Mathematics is a powerful, malleable tool that can be shaped and used differently by various communities to serve their needs.
Axiom 4. Everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect.

My research is supported by grants from the National Science Foundation (DMS - 2201085) and The Professional Staff Congress and The City University of New York. In Spring 2024, my research with undergraduates is supported by the Brooklyn College Tow Mentoring and Research Program.
