Mathematics is a beautiful subject, becoming more and more elegant and remarkable as you unpack more and more of this deep subject. Solving Diophantine equations using the Circle method, genus theory, or modular forms- one can only begin to question the inter-relatedness of mathematics.
Courses I have taught
- Number Theory
- Abstract Linear Algebra
I have taught introductory math classes at University of Michigan, University of Wisconsin, and University of Arizona. I am including classes for non-majors and majors. At all three institutions I taught calculus for various populations (Business majors, engineers, and general ed), college algebra, and trigonometry.
I was able to teach the math content sequence for pre-service elementary education majors at the University of Wisconsin and at the University of Arizona. I enjoy teaching these classes, as I see it as an opportunity to provide insight into mathematical topics that can often be overlooked at a superficial level.
