Research Interests
My research training was in the areas of set theory and logic. In particular, I have published papers dealing with infinitary combinatorics and large cardinals. More recently I have become interested in modeling and applications of mathematics to biology. I have also been fortunate enough to work with members of the Institut für Medizinische Biometrie at the University of Tübingen.
Classes
-
MATH 221: Calculus I
Topics studied are limits and continuity; derivatives and antiderivatives of the algebraic, exponential, logarithmic, trigonometric, and inverse functions; the definite integral; and the fundamental theorem of the calculus.
-
MATH 223: Calculus III
Vector calculus, functions of several variables, partial derivatives, multiple integrals, space analytic geometry, and line integrals.
-
MATH 360: Probability
Topics include probability definitions and theorems; discrete and continuous random variables including the binomial, hypergeometric, Poisson and normal random variables. Both the theory and applications of probability will be included.
