Recent Courses

During the Fall 2007 semester, I taught math 150A, Calculus I. Follow the link below for detailed information about this course and office hours.

While at the University of Michigan, I taught several courses, ranging from Applied Honors Calculus to Advanced Mathematics for Enginers. Follow the links below for detailed information about these courses.

Previous Courses (UCLA)

During the years I spent at UCLA as a graduate student, I worked as a TA for a variety of advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in applied mathematics, and an intermediate programming course (C++). Below are links to the description of these courses and to webpages I created for some of them.

Johns Hopkins University's Center for Takented Youth

During the summers of my graduate years at UCLA (2000--04), I also worked for Johns Hopkins University's Center for Talented Youth. There, I had the opportunity to teach a variety of very unique courses, those that one rarely gets to teach anywhere else: Individually Pace Mathematics, Flight Science, and Cryptography. In 2003, in addition to teaching mathematics, I worked as the Mathematics Subject Area Coordinator, and in 2004, I worked as Academic Dean for their program in Los Angeles.

Flight Instruction

Before I taught mathematics, from 1993 to 1997, I worked as I flight instructor at different airports in the Los Angeles area: Van Nuys, Brackett Fileld (La Verne), and Santa Monica Airports. During that time, I accumulated about 1800 hours of flight time and obtained several FAA certificates and ratings.
