Areas of Expertise

Mathematical analysis focusing on solvability of singular nonlinear partial differential equations.

Teaching Interests

Dr. Bacani has taught a variety of mathematics courses—including College Algebra, Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus, Calculus, Linear Algebra, Abstract Algebra, Real Analysis, Differential Equations, and Topology—to a wide range of undergraduate students.

Research

Dennis Bacani’s research has been focused in the field of partial differential equations. He has investigated convergence of formal solutions, existence and uniqueness of solutions, and lifespan of solutions to nonlinear partial differential equations.
