...While tutoring Calculus, I am able to describe the significance of a particular topic and relate it to real world applications such as the sciences, engineering, and business. I also point out when certain techniques will carry over to higher level math such as Differential Equations. I have also learned how to use Mathematica for this subject. (read more)
...Learning math is far more complex than just memorizing a lot of facts.... in fact, it is not really about memorizing at all! Math is about learning how to think in different ways, and developing an attitude of confidence in one's ability to do math. In order to do this, a good rapport with each student has to be developed.

...I have taught taught finite/discrete mathematics at the university level. My doctoral thesis is on mathematical logic, which is a specialty within discrete math. I also have 18 years of experience as a software engineer and data scientist programming in Java, SAS, and Python, which requires a s... (read more)
I recently graduated from Oregon State University with a MS in Mathematics. My MS project was an expository paper about the derivation of the matrix algorithm for persistent homology. In essence, this paper required knowledge of linear algebra, module algebra, algebraic topology, and category theory. (read more)
