My Teaching History

Besides teaching basic mathematics (calculus, linear algebra, etc.), the courses I teach often tend toward the more geometric and topological, given my research area. This said, I occasionally like to branch out into other areas of mathematics. One of the best ways of learning a new area of math is to teach it! A list of courses I have taught over the years is below.
Courses I have Taught:
Precalculus
- MTH 130 - Precalculus (Fall 2021, Fall 2022, Central Michigan University)
Single Variable Calculus
- MTH 132 - Calculus I (Fall 2018, Spring 2022, Central Michigan University)
- MTH 217 - Business Calculus (Spring 2021, Central Michigan University)
- MATH 2300 - Calculus 2 (Fall 2015, University of Colorado Boulder)(honors section)
- MATH 221 - Calculus I (Fall 2014, University of Illinois) (large lecture, 250+ students)
- MAT137 - Calculus! (Fall 2011, University of Toronto at Mississauga) (advanced, proof-based course, continued into a second semester)
Multi-Variable Calculus
- MATH 2400 - Calculus III (Spring 2016, Fall 2016, University of Colorado Boulder)
- MATH 241 - Calculus III [Mathematica] (Spring 2013, Spring 2014, University of Illinois)(Mathematica lessons designed to replace half of the lectures)
