My Teaching

New Course Offering!

Last summer, I helped develop curriculum for a new course offered at The University of Iowa. During the fall of 2007, I co-taught this course with Dr. David Stewart and Ben Galluzzo (another graduate student). The course, Introduction to Mathematics Research is aimed at undergraduate students interested in formulating and applying mathematical models. This course is listed as 22M:096 and will next be offered at Iowa in the spring semester of 2009. More information is available here.
