Research Interests

Chris Rasmussen is Professor of mathematics education and Associate Chair in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at San Diego State University. He is a founding Editor of the International Journal of Research in Undergraduate Mathematics Education and served on the National Academies Roundtable on Systemic Change in Undergraduate STEM Education from 2017-2022.  His research investigates inquiry-oriented approaches to the learning and teaching of undergraduate mathematics. His research program also seeks to better understand departmental practices to improve student success in the introductory mathematics courses required of all STEM majors and the process of departmental and institutional change to improve these courses.
