Dr. Steve Devereaux is assistant professor of mathematics at Cornerstone University. Dr. Devereaux encourages his students to look at mathematics as more than abstract ideas but as evidence of God’s design. He is determined to help his students understand mathematical principles and deepen their faith. He teaches upper-level mathematics courses, including multivariable calculus, real analysis and senior capstone courses.
Dr. Devereaux attended Cedarville University, where he received his Bachelor of Science in Mathematics. He also served as an adjunct professor at Cedarville. He then received his Ph.D. in Theoretical Mathematics from Western Michigan University, where he was also a graduate assistant.
In his free time, Dr. Devereaux plays piano for his church, writes songs and designs video games. He lives in Grand Rapids with his wife, daughter and dogs.
