You can cast it anyway you'd like. I'll go with folks qualified to teach at the Air Force Academy with a PhD.

I doubt  the AF Academy teaches any math past differential equations.   How much math do Pilots  do?  Some navigation is about it.   They definitely don't have a grad program in mathematics.  For good math, gotta go with Cal Tech or MIT.
