My Background

I am a native of Boise, Idaho where I graduated from Boise High School in 1997. From summer of 1997 to spring of 2002 I attended Beloit college, took every math class there, and left with a BS in Mathematics. From spring of 2002 to fall of 2004 I attended Indiana University and left with a Master of Science in Mathematics. From 2004 to 2008 I have attended the fine institution of UIUC as a math PhD student.

Office Hours

My office hours are set for 2- 3 TR. If you are in need of extra time and have been regularly attending the discussion section then I will make extra time. Also I will answer questions by email on mathematical topics. If you know LaTeX and can compile your question as a pdf you will get your answer more quickly; if not, I may need a day to meet with you face-to-face . I encourage you to come to office hours with questions.

My office is in B4a Coble Hall, and its phone is 217-244-1967.

Grades For Quizzes

If you are unhappy with the grade you were given on a quiz see me during office hours. If you cannot make office hours I will make extra time to talk about your grade. If you feel my grading was capricious under these criteria, and I will not change the grading, then see Professor Muncaster. Remember, in order to have a valid complaint the grading must be capricious not just harsh.

Students may find their grades here.

Advice for Students

Learn LaTeX! Come to discussion section with questions, do the homework, and have fun learning! =) I hope to help you with all of this.
