## Teaching

I teach a range of courses, mostly proof-based (or “pure math”) courses for undergraduate and graduate math majors. I also frequently teach multivariable calculus and introduction to proofs, and occasionally other classes: differential equations, linear algebra, and so on.

### Student times

I am here to support your learning. I encourage you to meet with me when you feel that you need support or assistance.

In Fall 2021 I will be available:

Student drop-in hours:
Thursdays 10:30am-12:30pm
Student appointment hour:
Thursdays 12:30pm-1:30pm (email me to set up an appointment within this hour in 15-minute segments)
Email me to set up an appointment on other days or times

Student times will be remote via Zoom using my office zoom link (listed in Canvas, or email me for the link).

### Fall 2021, current courses

Mathematical Proofs & Methods Math 287

## Research

My area of research is commutative algebra and algebraic geometry (MSC 13 and 14).

I study algebraic geometry with actual polynomials, especially Waring rank.
