Starting Fall 2025, I will be a Lecturer at the University of Minnesota, where I will be teaching three large lectures each semester (Fall and Spring) with class sizes of about 100 students.
Course Description: Graphs of equations and functions, transformations of graphs; linear, quadratic, polynomial, and rational functions with applications; zeroes of polynomials; inverses and compositions of functions; exponential and logarithmic functions with applications; coverage beyond that found in the usual 3 years of high school math.
Over the last six years at the University of Connecticut, I have served as the instructor of record every semester (Fall and Spring) for class sizes of about 32-40 students.
Course Description: Introduction to ordinary differential equations and their applications, linear differential equations, systems of first-order linear equations, and numerical methods.
* In Spring 2024, I taught an honors section of Differential Equations where students were required to do a final group project and presentation.
Course Description: Systems of equations, matrices, determinants, linear transformations on vector spaces, characteristic values, and vectors, from a computational point of view. The course is an introduction to the techniques of linear algebra with elementary applications.
Course Description: Derivatives and integrals of algebraic, exponential and logarithmic functions. Applications to business and economics.
Course Description: Linear equations and inequalities, matrices, systems of linear equations, and linear programming; sets, counting, probability and statistics; mathematics of finance; applications to business and economics.
Course Description: This course concentrates on problem-solving strategies involving discrete (non-Calculus) based mathematics topics. It is an appropriate course for students interested in a practical mathematics course with application to problems arising from any discipline.
An introduction to the techniques used by problem solvers from many professional disciplines. Skills such as Externalization (pictures and charts), Visualization (associated mental images), Simplification, Trial and Error, and Lateral Thinking are learned through the study of mathematical problems. Problems are drawn from combinatorics, probability, optimization, and cryptology. In addition, strategies for dealing with Interpersonal problems and Group Dynamics are discussed and practiced. Students will be encouraged to work cooperatively and to think independently.
Course Description: Limits, continuity, differentiation, antidifferentiation, definite integral, with applications to the physical sciences and engineering sciences.
* In Fall 2023, I stepped in and became the new TA mid-semester after the department needed to replace the previous TA.
Course Description: Transcendental functions, formal integration, polar coordinates, infinite sequences and series, vector algebra, and geometry, with applications to the physical sciences and engineering. Substitutes for MATH 1122 as a requirement.
Course Description: Two- and three-dimensional vector algebra, calculus of functions of several variables, vector differential calculus, line and surface integrals.
CAPS offers a jump-start to university life for first-generation and low-income students, and students from otherwise underrepresented populations. As coordinator I,
Coordinated up to five sections of Discrete Math and Math for Business and Economics each summer.
Provided guidance and leadership to math instructors and tutors as needed.
Held weekly faculty meetings with math instructors/tutors and attended weekly CAPS staff meetings to discuss students of concern.
Served as a liaison between the math faculty and CAPS staff.
Monitored the nightly breakout sessions and drop-in tutoring the course tutors held.
Held a yearly math competition with problem-solving questions and up to 50 participants.
Course Description: Banach spaces, linear operator theory and application to differential equations, nonlinear operators, compact sets on Banach spaces, the adjoint operator on Hilbert space, linear compact operators, Fredholm alternative, fixed point theorems and application to differential equations, spectral theory, distributions.
Over my two years as a master's student at Rhode Island College, I served as the instructor of record every semester (Fall and Spring) for class sizes of about 30 students.
Course Description: Satisfactory completion of this course fulfills the College Mathematics Milestone. Topics include problem-solving, beginning algebra, geometry, measurement, introductory probability and statistics, and graphs and charts.
* In Summer 2019, I was an adjunct instructor for Rhode Island College's Mathematics Department.
