Teaching

CURRENT:

I am not teaching in Summer 2008, or Fall 2008, because I'm expecting a baby in October 2008!

PAST:

At the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee:

Spring 2008:
Fall 2007: "Discrete Probability and Statistics for Elementary Education Majors", Math 278 (end of semester webpage) 3 credits, TR 11-12:15, Phy 152. Prerequisite: M176(P) or consent of instructor.

Spring 2007: "Complex Dynamics", Math 799, Section 8. 3 credits, TR 9:30-10:45, EMS E408. Prerequisite: M713 or consent of instructor (I have allowed in a couple of students who did well in M711 but have not had M713).
We'll be covering Alan Beardon's textbook "Iteration of Rational Functions".

In Fall 2006, I taught one section of Calculus, M231, at UWM. The course was held in a computer lab and made frequent use of the Maple programming environment. Interested parties my browse my archived copy of the final course web page.

At Indiana University:

In Fall 2005, I taught two courses, whose web pages are archived here:

  • Math M 380: History of Mathematics

  • Section 18800 of Math M 301: Linear Algebra & Applications

    In Fall 2004 I taught two sections of Math 120: "A Brief Survey of Calculus, part II". The course met twice a week, for 75 minutes each session. Here is an archived copy of the final course home page: m120 fall 2004.

    In Spring 2004 I also taught two sections of Math 120 (sec 3319 and 3320), at IU. That semester the course met three times a week, for 50 minutes each session. Here are the Spring 2004 course home pages, for section: sec 3319 or sec 3320.

    The Math 120 course description is: "A continuation of M119 covering topics in elementary differential equations, calculus of functions of several variables and infinite series. Intended for non-physical science students. Credit not given for both M212 and M120" (from the COAS Bulletin).

    At SUNY Stony Brook, I taught History of Math (Math 336) in Spring 2003 and Mathematical Problem Solving with Computers (Math 331) in Fall 2002. Interested students/instructors should consult: the Spring 2003 Math 336 course home page and/or the Math 331 archive. Instructors wishing for TeX files of my materials should email me with a request.

    In Fall 2001 I taught a section of Project-Based Calculus II (Projects Math 112) at Cornell. Here are some resources on projects calculus.

    My first year as a postdoc, I enjoyed reading the book Advice for New Faculty Members, by Robert Boice. It's chock full of teaching/writing tips for the novice faculty member.
