I am a graduate student here at Stony Brook. I am interested in riemannian geometry and applications to physics.

Here is an interesting link, if you want to do graph theory in LaTeX.

Teaching

2011
Spring: Teaching assistant for MAT122
Summer: MAT132 (Calculus II)

2010
Spring: MAT126: Integral Calculus
Summer: MAT126: Integral Calculus
Fall: Teaching assistant for MAT303: Calculus IV (Introductory Differential Equations)

2009
Fall: MAT 123: Precalculus
Summer I: MAT 118: Mathematical Thinking Spring:
MAT 203: Multivariable Calculus with Applications (Teaching assistant for both recitations).
HON 113: Honors Topics I designed and taught a one credit seminar class aimed at honors freshman and sophomores. Roughly half of the semester was spent proving a version of Goedel's first incompleteness theorem, and the other half provided introductions to various mathematical topics, such as special relativity, non-euclidean geometry, and the Riemann zeta function. Here is the syllabus.

2008
Spring:
MAT141: Honors Calculus II (Teaching Assistant)
MAT118: Mathematical Thinking (Teaching Assistant)
Summer: I taught a Calculus course for CSTEP.
MAT132: Integral Calculus (grader)
Fall: MAT319: Introduction to Analysis (Teaching Assistant and grader)

2007
Fall:
MAT141: Honors Calculus I (Teaching Assistant)

If I were a Springer-Verlag Graduate Text in Mathematics, I would be Frank Warner's Foundations of Differentiable Manifolds and Lie Groups. I give a clear, detailed, and careful development of the basic facts on manifold theory and Lie Groups. I include differentiable manifolds, tensors and differentiable forms. Lie groups and homogenous spaces, integration on manifolds, and in addition provide a proof of the de Rham theorem via sheaf cohomology theory, and develop the local theory of elliptic operators culminating in a proof of the Hodge theorem. Those interested in any of the diverse areas of mathematics requiring the notion of a differentiable manifold will find me extremely useful. Which Springer GTM would you be? The Springer GTM Test
