Teaching
Mathematical potential is distributed equally among different groups, irrespective of geographic, demographic, and economic boundaries.
Everyone can have joyful, meaningful, and empowering mathematical experiences.
Mathematics is a powerful, malleable tool that can be shaped and used differently by various communities to serve their needs.
Every student deserves to be treated with dignity and respect.
AY 2023-2024:
In Fall 2023, I taught MATH 201: Calculus 1. In Spring 2024 I'm teaching MATH 202: Calculus 2 and MATH 280: Logic, Sets, and Proofs.
You can find the slides from the Bucknell Math Dept. Student Colloquium I gave in 2022 here.
PAST COURSES AT BUCKNELL:
MATH 446: Abstract Algebra II (Syllabus)
MATH 201: Calculus I (SyllabusS21, F22)
MATH 311: Theory of Numbers (Syllabus)
MATH 211: Multivariable Calculus (Syllabus)
MATH 202: Calculus II (SyllabusF19, F20)
MATH 280: Logic, Sets, and Proofs (Syllabus)
OTHER COURSES I HAVE TAUGHT:
Rice University: Math 566: Topics in Algebra II -- Brauer Groups in Algebra, Number Theory, and Geometry, Math 354: Honors Linear Algebra, Math 464/564: Abstract Algebra III (Commutative Algebra), Math 111: Differential Calculus, Math 306: Abstract Algebra, Math 101: Calculus I, Math 499: Research Seminar for Undergraduates (topics in various semesters included finite dynamical systems, the dollar game and divisors on graphs, elliptic curves, p-adic numbers).
SUMMER PROGRAMS:
I have been involved in a few summer programs that encourage students to foster their identities as doers of mathematics and science.
Patterns, Math, and You: In the summer of 2018 I co-led a 2 week intensive program entitled Patterns, Math, and You (PMAY) for middle school students in the Houston ISD at Rice University. Students explored patterns in primes numbers, modular arithmetic, and learned about RSA encryption!
Summer Program for Women in Math: In the summer of 2012 I worked as a teaching assistant at the Summer Program for Women in Math (SPWM) at George Washington University. I was a program participant in 2009; it gave me a community of other women doing mathematics that I didn't have before. Sadly, the program is now defunct. But visit the resources page for other summer programs!
