Areas I Teach 

Course Information

At Pacific University, all faculty teach a variety of different courses. Typically, we do not use graduate teaching assistants, which means that your classes will be taught by professors and that you will have plenty of opportunities to get to know the faculty in your discipline.

Below I have listed some of the courses that I teach. We are always developing and trying out new classes, so the list may change now and then.

MATH 226 | Calculus I

MATH 240 | Discrete Mathematics

MATH 326 | Introduction to Analysis

MATH 490 | Senior Capstone

Education

PhD in Mathematics, University of Oregon, Eugene, OR in 1998

MA in Mathematics, University of Washington, Seattle, WA in 1993

BS in Mathematics, BA in Music, Stanford University, Palo Alto, CA in 1989
