Overview

Dr. Boza Tasić joined Ryerson University in 2006 as a limited term faculty in the Mathematics Department where he worked until 2010. During the period 2010-2013 he was the coordinator of the Math Centre at Ryerson. He joined the Ted Rogers School of Management in 2013 as an Assistant Professor in Global Management Studies. His research interests are in both theoretical and applied mathematics, as well as in the scholarship of teaching and learning. He has been a member of the Yeats School of Graduate Studies since 2007. He was nominated for TVO’s Best Lecturer Competition in 2010 and received the Dean’s Teaching Award for 2015.

  • Theoretical mathematics research - universal algebra, mathematical logic
  • Applied mathematics in business research - modelling and analysis of various business networks using graph theory
  • Scholarship of Teaching and Learning – online learning, computer aided assessments
