Courses

During the academic year 2011-2012, I will not be teaching; I will be on a graduate student researchship. However, in the Spring quarter, I am volunteering my time to coordinate a (almost) weekly seminar on elementary functional analysis for undergraduates and graduate students. Notes for the course will be made available as soon as we are able to post them.

• Math 151A - Teaching assistant for Advanced Calculus (also known as Introduction to Real Anlaysis) Comments (pdf) Numerics (pdf)
• Math 8B - Trigonometry and differential calculus Comments (pdf) Numerics (pdf)
• Math 9B - Primary instructor for second quarter of Freshman calculus (integration) Comments (pdf) Numerics (pdf)

One of the many "111 Cool Things Smart Students Should Know about UC Riverside."

• An excerpt from a publication of the University of California, Riverside.

A growing list of "how-to's"

• Check out these short notes I've written up over the years on 'how to survive.' These are the new version of the old "Freshman guides." Now includes a section on undergraduate research.

• As soon as I'm successful in finding a job, I'll report back on all the things I wish I had done differently (or, as soon as it's clear I'm not going to have one!).

How To Succeed

• For those of you working on a dissertation, check out these helpful tips and documents (all the way at the bottom of the linked page).

• Ask a lot of questions!!!

• Come to office hours. Seriously, come to office hours and ask more questions!!!

• Email me. Ask more questions!!! I am at my email quite often, so I will usually get back to you quickly.

• Don't be afraid to tell me when I am wrong.

• If you get a homework or test problem wrong, do it over until you get it right! If you are stuck, then ask a classmate or me for help.

• Work together, help each other, but also make sure you understand the work on your own.

Interesting, Helpful or Random Links

• An interesting lecture on learning.

• Take a look at some theorems of geometry and corresponding applets here.

• ODE software for Matlab and Java-based ODE applets here.
