Teaching

I am passionate about teaching applied mathematics and its applications to biological systems. Below you’ll find courses I’ve taught, along with available course materials.

Teaching Philosophy

I believe in making mathematics accessible and relevant through:

  • Connecting theory to applications - Every mathematical concept is motivated by real-world problems
  • Active learning - Students learn best by doing, not just listening
  • Computational tools - Modern mathematics requires computational thinking
  • Collaborative environment - Learning happens through discussion and peer interaction
