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! Below you will find some lecture notes and webpages from various courses I have taught over the years.

Lecture Notes:

I typed up lecture notes for some of my courses.

  • MTH 744 - Topics in Geometry: Lie Group Actions (Fall 2022, Central Michigan University) - Lecture Notes
  • MATH 6230 - Differential Geometry (Spring 2017, University of Colorado Boulder) - Notes on Lie Groupoids

Old Course Websites:

Most courses now have Blackboard sites, but sites from years passed appear below.
