Short Bio
In 2007, I graduated with a B.S. in mathematics from the University of Utah, and I attained my doctorate in math in '12 (also from the U of U). My primary research interests are representation theory and number theory.
Odd fact: Although I've lived in Utah for over 10 years, I've only skied once. But that was cross-country skiing and I spent more time in the shrubbery than the snow, so it doesn't really count.
Teaching
Spring 2013 - Math 2280.002
Location: LS 111
Time: M,T,W,F 12:55 PM - 1:45 PM
Text: The course will follow the fourth edition of
Description: This course is an introduction to ordinary and partial differential equations, and how they are used to model problems arising in engineering and science. It is the second semester of the year long sequence 2270-2280, which is an in-depth introduction to linear mathematics. The linear algebra which you learned in Math 2270 will provide a surprising amount of the framework for our discussions in Math 2280, although this will not be apparent at first. We will cover most of Chapters 1-7,9 in the Edwards-Penney text.
MAPLE
There will be several MAPLE computer projects assigned during the semester, related to the classroom material. There is a Math Department Computer Lab in the T. Benny Rushing Math- ematics Center at which you all automatically have accounts. There are other labs around campus where Maple is also available, for example at the College of Engineering and Marriott Library.

Course Schedule
Over the course of the semester, we will cover most of chapters 1-7, 9 from the textbook. There will be two midterm exams and one final exam for this class. The final exam is comprehensive and will be administered on Monday, April 29, 2013, from 1:00 - 3:00 PM. There will also be weekly homework assignments. While the exam dates are fixed, the daily subject matter in the schedule below is only approximated.
