Favorite Books + Authors
Please provide a brief description of your teaching philosophy
- I think there is still a significant need in the classroom for good lecturing. Working out derivations or problems on the blackboard is still one of the most effective means I know for teaching mathematically based subjects. I also find the mentoring aspects of the job to be fulfilling. I like the subject I teach, and I like the students I have the privilege of teaching.
What do you enjoy most about teaching at Poly?
- I really enjoy teaching in such a multi-ethnic environment as we have at NYU-Poly, and in a school where almost all students are pursuing careers in math, science, or engineering.
