Teaching
My teaching philosophy is centered on the idea that every student is able to learn mathematics. Every student possesses this ability whether or not they know it– my job as a teacher is to reveal that to them. However, my goal isn’t to have each student become an innovative mathematician. When students finish a course with me, regardless of whether or not they will continue taking math classes, they should be able to think logically, communicate their ideas in a clear and concise manner, and have a deeper understanding of mathematical principles and concepts.

Some of the most well-received aspects of my courses deal with the notes. I typeset the notes prior to class so that students can print them out and fill them in throughout the lecture. I've found that this method allows us to efficiently use class time by focusing more on ideas in lecture rather than copying notes from the board. Additionally, I upload the completed notes (that we filled in during class) to our course site, so that students can return to them if they need to clarify anything, confirm answers to any groupwork, or get a copy of the notes if absent. In my experience, electronic notes like this allow for more flexibility than traditional chalk/white boards.

Below are a few examples from a range of classes-- an introductory Calculus course, mid-level classes on Differential Equations and Applied Linear Algebra, an upper-level course on Numerical Analayis, and a probaility/statistics class aimed at non-majors, Statistical Data Analysis. All of the notes here were taken from my tablet after class and scanned to the course site; so, please keep in mind that none have been editted past that if they appear a little rough.
