My passion for teaching arose when my high school Mathematics teacher was able to turn a Mathematics hating low scoring student to a topper aiming to pursue Mathematics forever! That is when I realized the power of teaching in shaping lives. While grad school (i.e., during my PhD) compulsorily introduced me to teaching duties, I have thoroughly enjoyed taking lectures and directly communicating with students. This has led me to explicitly take time out of my postdoctoral research so I could teach a few courses.
Role: Instructor
Duties: Apart from teaching, I would hold regular office hours, pre-examination practice sessions, quizzes, etc.
Topics covered:
Techniques and applications of integration. Improper integrals. Introduction to differential equations. Partial differentiation. Applications in the context of the physical sciences.
Role: Instructor
Duties: Apart from teaching, I would hold regular office hours, pre-examination practice sessions, quizzes, etc.
Topics covered:
The derivative as a rate of change. Differentiation of elementary, trigonometric, exponential, and logarithmic functions. The definite integral as a summation. Integration. The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. Applications in the context of the life sciences.
MATH 136: Linear Algebra 1 for Honours Mathematics
Role: Instructor
Duties: Apart from full-time teaching, I was also partly for development of course content, homework, quizzes, assignments, exams, and evaluations.
Topics covered:
Systems of linear equations, matrix algebra, elementary matrices, computational issues. Real n-space, vector spaces and subspaces, basis and dimension, rank of a matrix, linear transformations, and matrix representations. Determinants, eigenvalues and diagonalization, applications.
Role: Teaching Assistant
Duties: Grading, office hours and tutorials for multiple courses including undergraduate and advanced graduate courses. Take a look at my CV for the full list of courses.
