Rate My Professor William Coggins

William Coggins serves as Senior Lecturer of Mathematics in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at Georgia Southern University. He earned a Master of Science in Pure Mathematics from Georgia Southern University in 2015, along with a Bachelor of Science in Physics and a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics, both completed at the same institution in 2013. In his current role, Coggins coordinates the Survey of Calculus course (MATH 1232) and contributes to multiple departmental committees while teaching courses such as Survey of Calculus and College Trigonometry.

His academic interests center on mathematical education, with particular attention to the comparative effectiveness of rigorous versus intuitive instructional approaches and the role of curriculum mapping in supporting student learning outcomes. Additional research pursuits include explorations of the Riemann Zeta Function and its connections to quantum states of primon gases. Prior investigations have encompassed topics in photolysis studies of vanillin tetra-phenyl porphyrins, emission studies of doubly-doped magnesium phosphors for white LED applications, the large-scale structure of the universe, and the enumeration of graphs using integrals from quantum field theory.
