Math 117 My professor for the WAC will be on you, Professor Gregory Battle for Hampton University. Some of the classes he teaches at Hampton University include: Math 117, Math 109, and Math 152. Dr. Gregory Battle is a theoretical algebraist and outstanding mathematics lecturer who has inspired a myriad of science doctorates during his tenures at both Morehouse College and Grambling State University. He has performed research at IBM, Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, the Air Force Research Laboratory, and the National Center for Atmospheric Research, the Naval Surface Warfare Center, the Naval Personnel Research and Development Center, and NASA. He is a graduate of Morehouse College and did his thesis at Washington University in St. Louis. Also, his first professional jobs were working as analysts (geodesist) at the Defense Mapping Agency Aerospace Center and (senior operations research) at the U.S. Army Aviation-Troop Command both in St. Louis. His current research involves stochastic estimation working in the Systems Modeling and Optimization Branch at the NASA Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, California. He is published and the author of an algebra book entitled, An Introduction to Moore-Penrose Rings, Volume I. He also served as a visiting researcher at the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI), as part of the Discover GTRI Summer Experience. After viewing the flyer soliciting faculty members to participate in a summer sabbatical, he said he was excited by the various labs that had a need for mathematical training.
