"I have a PhD in mathematics from Iowa State University. Besides my 5 years as a Graduate Teaching Assistant, I have 32 years experience teaching university math courses professionally. I taught at a variety of schools, including University of Akron, Northeastern U., Iowa State U., Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, Morehead State U., Transylvania U., U. of Kentucky, and Kentucky State University. I retired from university teaching August 2020. I was also an AP Calculus (AB and BC) Reader (National Exam grader) for 8 years up to and including 2020. (When I retired, AP amicably ended my Reader career as well. That is their rule.)

As a student I did undergraduate work at Kent State University and the University of Akron. I did graduate study at the U. of Akron, Northeastern U., M.I.T., and Iowa State U. In the process I passed Master's and PhD qualifying exams in Abstract Algebra, Analysis, and Foundations (Mathematical Logic & Set Theory). My Master's paper was on Non-standard Analysis, and my doctoral research focus was in Foundations.

I have taught university courses in College Algebra, Trigonometry, Finite Mathematics (including Linear Programming and Probability), Calculus (1, 2, 3), Differential Equations, Partial Differential Equations, History of Mathematics, Dynamical Systems, Linear Algebra, Abstract Algebra, Set Theory, Logic, Linear Programming, Operations Research, Complex Variables, Advanced Calculus, and Real Analysis. I also taught Intro to Celestial Mechanics, and Intro to Astronomy (the Solar System) at a Community College .

My all-time favorite mathematician is Euler.

My brother has been tutoring for Wyzant for several years, and urged me to do the same. I love mathematics, so perhaps I am the tutor you seek. If my profile interests you, please contact me and we'll see if I can help you with your math needs." less...
