Teaching

Working with students is an important aspect of my mathematical life. I believe mathematics is an essential part of any education, providing general life skills, more specific technical training, and the ability to think and reason in a rigorous manner. Moreover, teaching and mentoring is how the mathematical community perpetuates itself and prepares future generations of mathematicians.

I am a recipient of the Cornell University Department of Mathematics 2012-2013 Teaching Award.

Below is information about my present and past courses.

Fall 2012

Math 1920 (Multivariable Calculus for Engineers). Course web page.

Math 6710 (Probability Theory I) A first graduate course in measure-theoretic probability. Course web page. Lecture notes (PDF).

Spring 2012

Math 4740 (Stochastic Processes). An undergraduate course in stochastic processes, including Markov chains, martingales and Brownian motion.
