Mathematics Resume/CV
Currently a graduate student and instructor of mathematics at the University of Vermont. Teaching: - Fall 2004, Math9 (college algebra). I teach college algebra, including preparing and giving all lectures, quizzes, homeworks, tests, exams and holding office hours for 34 students. I also work in the math lab twice per week where I tutor all math up to integral calculus. - Spring 2005. I will be teaching Math17 (discrete mathematics). Primary interests: - At UVM, I will pursue studies in algebra. I'm not sure that I intent to stay here though. I want to do my PhD studies in mathematics in logic, philosophy and history. - Logic: Constructive logic, history and philosophy of logic mainly related to Husserl and Frege, computability and complexity, type theory, model theory, applications to computer science. - History: Philosophy of mathematics from historical perspectives, phenomenology and genetic histories, humanism and posthumanism, Foucauldian archaeology and the historical continuum, French poststructuralism in general, history of number theory, history and philosophies of Kant and Descartes. Current Classes: - Graduate level analysis 1 - Graduate level algebra 1 - Complex geometry Undergrad Stuff: GRE verbal score: 530 / 67% below. GRE quantitative score: 770 / 85% below. GRE analytical writing score: 5.5 / 84% below. Grade Average Information: ITT Tech (1997-1998): 3.98 University of Michigan-Flint (1998-2004): 3.30 Uppsala University (2001): all G/VG Most Recent (Fall 2003): 3.75 Teaching: - Supplemental Instruction in PHY143 (Freshman Physics) Fall 2003 - Supplemental Instruction in PHY143 (Freshman Physics) Winter 2004 - Tutor Experience in Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics, and Philosophy - 3 time Freshman Chemistry Lab TA. Mathematics Classes Taken: - College Algebra - Pre-Calculus - Derivative Calculus - Integral Calculus - Multivariable Calculus - Linear Algebra - Mathematical Proofs and Logic Structures - Real Analysis (Independent Study) - Complex Analysis - Numerical Analysis - Probability with Statistical Applications - Conics and Cubics - Number Theory - History of Mathematics - Non-Euclidean Geometry - Abstract (Modern) Algebra - Topics in Logic (Independent Study) - Senior Seminar (formal/algebraic geometry research) - Topology - Coding Theory - Advanced Topics in Logic (Independent Study) Mathematics-Related Classes Taken: - Philosophy of Mind - Philosophy of Descartes (Uppsala University) - Foucault/Poststructuralism (Uppsala University) - Husserl/Phenomenology (Uppsala University) - Programming in C++ - Unix Computing - Calculus Based Physics/Mechanical - Calculus Based Physics/Electrical - Modern Physics - Differential Geometry & Relativity (Independent Study) Other Classes Taken: - Chemistry I (Atomic/Molecular) - Chemistry II (Chemical/Intro to Organic) - Supervised Biochemistry Research - Philosophy of Ethics - 2 Courses in English Composition - Classical Music Theory/History - Theory of Mass Political Movements - Philosophy of Derrida (Independent Study) - History of United States Pre Civil War - Engineering Materials Analysis (ITT Tech) - Computer Aided Design - CAD (ITT Tech) - Advanced CAD (ITT Tech) University Highlights: - One year in Uppsala, Sweden at Uppsala University. - President of SUM (Student Union of Mathematics) - Secretary of SUM - Vice President of SSC (Students for Social Change) - President of SSC - Awarded Membership in MAA (Mathematical Association of America) by Mathematics Department of UM-Flint. - ACM (Association for Computing Machinery) Member. - Putnam Competition 2002 - 19 points - rank: 758 of 2768 - Putnam Competition 2003 - M.A.T.H. Competition (4 times) - Highest ever placement from UM-Flint: 4th. - Lower Michigan Mathematics Competition (3 times) - Essay Published: "Salvaging La Geometrie" in Meteorite V1,4 - Three time volunteer at Math Field Day. - CS Games @ McGill, Montreal 2003 (placed 2th in web design & 4th in Logic). - CS Games @ McGill, Montreal 2004 (placed 9th in web development, 9th in artificial intelligence, 6th in logic, 9th in algorithm design) - Meteorite Journal of Philosophy Editorial Staff - Educational Spring Break with Kensington Welfare Rights Union, Philadelphia. - MAA Michigan Chapter Meeting, Spring 1999 - Michigan Undergraduate Mathematics Conference (3 times) Mathematics Misc: In 1998, I created the most accurate bicycle spoke length calculation algorithm, for use in building bicycle wheels and accounting for far more variables and much greater accuracy than any other existing algorithm. I gave a talk on this algorithm and demonstrated a web-based implementation at the Michigan Undergraduate Mathematics Conference. In October 2003, I gave a talk at the Michigan Undergraduate Mathematics Conference on how mathematics experience can aid in creativity and composition in film & digital photography. I also discussed lens construction and correction techniques. During the winter term of 2004 I will give a talk at the Meeting of Minds at the University of Michigan on a web-based application I have been working on for two years, a colorblind approximation generation program for images and web sites to aid web designers and photographers in color presentation. This improves on existing algorithms by increasing the range of colors from 216 to 16,777,216 AND being more efficient. I own a registered copy of Mathematica. I also own and know well the TI-83 and TI-89 calculators. I also run GIMPS and have factored several Mersenne numbers between 5-15 million digits. See my professional resume for more info on computing abilities. Highlights Personal/Other (non-mathematics): - Eagle Scout, Philmont, Order of Arrow - Boy Scouts of America. - State of Michigan Special Tribute for Community Service while in the Boy Scouts of America Program. - Congratulatory letters for accomplishments while in the BSA program from U.S. President Gerald Ford, U.S. President Bill Clinton, U.S. Congressman Dale Kildee, U.S. Senator Spencer Abraham, Michigan State Senator Dan L. DeGrow, Governor of the State of Michigan John Engler. - Active Member of ACLU. - Active Member of Michigan Citizens for Peace. Languages: I am a native English (American) speaker and can speak and write well. I take pride in my writing abilities. I have been to Sweden 7 times, have studied mathematics and philosophy in Swedish and can use the language well. I would say I am near fluent in Swedish. In addition, several languages are close to Swedish (namely, Norwegian), and I understand those well enough to get by without difficulty - although I must respond in Swedish. I have studied Russian. I can get by OK in Russian. |
