...As part of both my philosophy and engineering education, I have a strong background in Discrete Math. A significant focus of Operations Research is discrete optimization -- optimizing problems that cannot have fractional answers, such as plane tickets or hiring decisions. In order to solve these kinds of problems, I have taken several courses centered on Discrete Math. (read more)
...Graduated from Cornell University with a double major in Physics and German Studies. Completed a Master's Degree in Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Michigan, where I regularly used concepts related to Solid-State Physics. At Cornell, my favorite classes included Quantum Mechanics (both theory and applications) and Solid State Physics. (read more)
...I was also an active participant in math competitions, competing annually in the AMC and AIME and qualifying for the USAJMO in 10th grade. During college, I continued my interest in competition math by taking the Putnam exam and contributing to CMU’s very own CMIMC, a math competition for high schoolers. As a tutor my primary goal is to teach you how to learn math. (read more)
