...It allowed for intellectual challenge, while also offering opportunity to continue far in mathematics as elective courses. The contexts I was exposed to mathematics in led me to developing a multi-dimensional style of both learning and teaching the discipline, and often I've found that I'm able ... (read more)
...Then we can build on their knowledge and break down the challenging parts of the problem into smaller, more manageable chunks. Algebra, geometry, and trigonometry are fundamental to more advanced topics in math, so I use them every day. I can explain the concepts and how to use them to solve problems. (read more)
...I took differential equations as a sophomore in a Mechanical Engineering degree. I also have taken a class which uses differential equations with Boundary Value Problems as part of a Bachelor of Science in math (Math Major) at Stonybrook University. I also taught a unit on differential equation applications when I was a TA for a Section of a Calculus 2 class at SUNY Albany. (read more)
