Dr. David Albig, Professor Emeritus of Mathematics and Statistics
Dr. David Albig, Professor Emeritus of Mathematics and Statistics, chaired the department for many years before retiring a few years ago. These days, Dave is an avid golfer and remains one of the best extended joke tellers of all time. Dr. Albig taught at Radford University from Fall 1966 until Spring 2003. He served as chairman of the department from Fall 1977 until Spring 2000. Currently he is the editor of the Virginia Mathematics Teacher. He can be reached at dalbig@radford.edu or by phone at (540) 639-3468. Dr. Albig had the following to say recently.
“The Department of Mathematics and Statistics has a long history of service to Radford University. Service includes developing strong majors in mathematics, statistics, and computer science; general education courses; and courses such as Business Calculus designed to meet the needs of other departments. The department’s faculty have always placed helping students as their number one professional responsibility.”
As an example of this dedication, the first faculty endowed scholarship at Radford University was established more than thirty years ago by Drs. Albig, Hansard, and Milton of the Mathematics and Statistics Department. Currently the department awards two endowed scholarships (the Albig scholarship and the Milton scholarship) to deserving students.
