Research Interests

My academic research interests are in climate change modeling. I think someone needs to double check and help clean up the work of the scientists.

I am also very interested in how mathematics interacts with the rest of society. How can we make Mathematics a desirable field? What causes math phobias? Feel free to check out my website for more ideas about how "normal" people respond to mathematics.

Courses

Fall 2009 I am a teaching assitant for Math 2373 IT Linear Algebra & Differential Equations sections 11 and 15.

Publications

I maintain a blog called Social Mathematics. You don't need to know any math to read the blog. (perhaps it's better if you know none at all...) Math is everywhere; sometimes we choose to obsess over it or ignore it, but I believe we should do neither. Fruits and vegetables should be a part of everyone's diet. So too should math.
