"Hi, my name is Robert and I've been teaching, tutoring, lecturing, TAing, and leading seminars at the university level for eight years now, in a wide variety of subjects relating to pure, applied, and interdisciplinary mathematics. I'm here to help you get a better grasp on your mathematical toolkit so that you can thrive in your scientific field. My teaching style emphasizes in-depth study of concrete examples to help develop your intuition, and then using that intuition to provide rigorous mathematical proof for the general case of your problem. Whether you're a beginner taking your first formal math course, or an experienced math major trying to understand the abstractions of category theory, I can help you solve problems and reason through proofs, step-by-step.

Most of my experience comes from teaching applied mathematics and theory of computation to computer science students -- that is:

- Discrete math & logic

- Analysis of algorithms

- Finite automata & formal languages

- Linear programming & optimization

- Fourier series

- Computational complexity theory

I've also helped to teach a variety of other applied/interdisciplinary math, such as Linear Algebra for Economics, Mathematical Methods for Physics, Quantum Computing, and Symbolic Logic (for linguists). My pure math teaching experience includes Abstract Algebra, Commutative Algebra, Algebraic Topology, and Real Analysis.

I'm working on my PhD in mathematical computer science right now. In addition, I am working on a certification in university-level teaching, and I hope to pursue a career in teaching at the university level. My research is centered around how abstract algebra can be applied in other sciences, such as linguistics, economics, and computer science.

I also tutor test prep. I achieved:

-2350 SAT

-800 Math SAT 2

-170 Math GRE

-5's on all of the AP Physics, Economics, & Calculus exams" less...
