Courses Taught in the Past

Summer 2019: Instructor for MA 59800.556 - Linear Algebra for Data Science
Course Description: Credit Hours: 1.00. Fundamentals of linear algebra for data science and applications; matrix operations; diagonalization and decomposition; vector spaces; eigenvalues.

Online class for graduate students interested in learning the basics of data science. This course served to introduce the fundamentals of matrix algebra and linear algebra needed for the more advanced data science courses. Although I did not design the curriculum or record the lectures, I managed and graded all student work, assigned final grades, managed a discussion board, and held virtual office hours.

Spring 2019: Instructor for MA 266 - Ordinary Differential Equations
Course Description: Credit Hours: 3.00. First order equations, second and n'th order linear equations, series solutions, solution by Laplace transform, systems of linear equations. It is preferable but not required to take MA 265 either first or concurrently. Not open to students with credit in MA 262, 272, 360, 361, or 366. Typically offered Fall Spring Summer.

Fall 2018: Teaching Assistant for MA 16010 - Applied Calculus I (Section 888 - Polytechnic version)
Course Description: Credit Hours: 3.00. Topics include trigonometric and exponential functions; limits and differentiation, rules of differentiation, maxima, minima and optimization; curve sketching, integration, anti-derivatives, fundamental theorem of calculus. Properties of definite integrals and numerical methods. Applications to life, managerial and social sciences. Typically offered Fall Spring Summer. 3.000 Credit hours

The Polytechnic Version of MA 16010 was designed to have a flipped classroom and was designed to be more project-oriented, rather than problem-oriented. Students had group projects to complete throughout the semester. My roles as a teaching assistant were to adjust the mathematical content of the course to better fit with this design. I also served in an advisory role for structuring the course as a whole. During class sessions, I would help with mathematical content.
