I am interested in a broad range of mathematics with a particular focus on the visual tools and metaphors used to convey mathematical meaning, and on applications of mathematics to political and economic systems.  As a teacher, my goal is to provide opportunities for students both to learn new mathematical ideas and to develop an understanding of what it means to do mathematics.  My classes span many areas, from mathematical modeling in the physical and social sciences to introductions to the abstract fields of analysis, geometry and algebra.
