Classes:

My regular teaching load is 11 to 12 hours per semester, which means that pretty much every semester I teach three courses. I usually teach two sections of a lower division course (Precalculus, Calculus I-III) and one higher-level course. For the last five years the latter has either been the History of Mathematics course (in the Spring; recent syllabus here) or the Higher Geometry Course (in the Fall; recent syllabus here). I have also taught Differential Geometry and Linear Algebra, as well as a short Summer course on Euclid's Elements.

Office Hours:

My office hours vary from semester to semester. Please see the syllabus for your course. Generally, I am available for help whenever I am in my office. If you want to make sure that I have time for you, please e-mail or call me to set up an appointment.

Some Professional Interests:

History of Mathematics (my main area of research)
Classical Geometry (particularly plane elementary geometry and projective geometry)
Technology in the Classroom (here is a theme that I actually have very mixed feelings about)
Collegiate Teaching (mostly on what makes it work and why it is different from, say, high school teaching)
