Teaching Experience

Here is my Teaching Statement.

During my graduate career, I have taught 1 semester of statistics, 5 semesters of College Algebra, 3 semesters of Calculus, and 1 semester of Business Mathematics.

Statistics

This was the basic statistics course for undergraduates. We covered the typical topics ranging from discrete distributions to one and two variabel hypothesis tests. I really enjoyed teaching this course due to its relevance to everyday life.

Algebra

The algebra course I have taught was the standard freshman level algebra required by many degree programs. It covered topics ranging including a review of basic arithmetic; linear, polynomial, exponential and logarithmic functions; and basic modeling.

Calculus

I have taught a course titled "Elements of Calculus" which was a regular calculus course covering topics from limits, differentiation, and integration but in a less technical manner than the calulus course for science majors. What this really translates to is easier problem sets for the students. I taught this during one regular semester and one summer session.

I have also taught one semester of the regular Calculus I course for science majors. This covers the same material, but with more in depth problem sets.

Business Mathematics

The business program at the University of Arizona is highly regarded due in part to its mathematics component. I taught the first semester of this course sequence which included Basic probability and computer simulation using excel.

Tutoring

I have tutored students in a great number of courses including algebra, trigonometry, geometry, calculus, differential equations, linear algebra, quantum mechanics, chemistry, physics, and business math. Most of this experience comes from working in the University of Arizona Department of Mathmatics tutoring rooms.

Outreach

Educational outreach is also something I am involved in. I held the CATTS fellowship, Collaboration to Advance Teaching Technology and Science, for a year. I worked in an alternative high school, City High Scool, developing and executing new curriculum. I have also participated in a Native American math Camp centered around the economics and science of beekeeping.
