Remembering Nick Baeth

  • Assistant Professor of Mathematics Nicholas Baeth

On Saturday, December 11, we lost our colleague, professor, and friend Dr. Nicholas R. Baeth, professor of mathematics, after a brief battle with an aggressive cancer. 

A celebration of his life was held on Sat., April 2 at in Bonchek Lecture Hall, LSP142.

The Baeth family has set up a 529 Education account for Nick’s six-year old son, George. Those wishing to contribute can do so via Venmo. The username is @georgebaeth. The official name on the account is Diana Peloza (Nick’s mother-in-law).

See his full Math Department memorial statement and  his obituary for more information on Nick's life and his padlet as a place to share remembrances.
