PhD candidate for anything and everything mathematical

If you need a tutor for anything mathematically related, I'm your guy. I can cover anything from basic math through graduate level applied mathematics. Since my research and undergraduate degree is highly related to programming, I am also quite comfortable teaching programming topics--MATLAB, C/C++, and Python are my 'first' languages. I am also an electronics hobbyist, having passed the highest qualification for Amateur Radio work available.

I have been tutoring college classes since 2006, a teaching assistant since 2008, and tutoring Math/Science ACT for the last two and a half years. I am currently finishing my fourth year of graduate school. I have also been been paid to program since 2004, and worked on everything from websites to inventing new codes to analyze trends and categorize data.

GRE Quantitative Score: 780.
AP Computer Science A: 5/5
Amateur Radio Tech/General/Extra

C++

C/C++ are computer programming languages that are used when you need the utmost performance and the very most flexibility. They represent slightly different styles: C++ emphasizes object-oriented programming.

I have almost a decade of C/C++ experience and can get you productive in either.

Computer Programming

Computer programming is the process of telling computers what you want them to do, and how to accomplish it.

I have experience teaching college-level classes on computer programming, and a lot of experience programming various projects. I've worked mostly in C/C++, Python, Java, and MATLAB, but I've also worked in FORTRAN, Prolog, Scheme, Ruby, Haskell, PHP, Perl, and about a dozen other languages. The projects have been all sorts of coursework and practical projects--lately, mostly... Read More

Computer Science

Computer science is frequently lumped into computer programming. The distinction is that while computer programming is more about the mechanics of actually programming something, computer science is more about what you should be programming. It also fits nicely as a subtopic of mathematics.

The major topics can be split into the theory-side and the applied-side. The applied side is the science of actually building the things you see in the wild--computers themselves, how to connect... Read More

Linear Algebra

I have taken 3+ different courses during my undergraduate work in theoretical, numerical, and applied linear algebra.
I subsequently was a teacher's assistant for numerical and applied linear algebra courses for nearly a year and was given special commendation for my teaching in those classes. I also designed original homework assignments utilizing linear algebra concepts to increase student engagement in a scientific computing course.
One of my four preliminary examinations covered... Read More

Linux

I have been running Linux machines since 1996. My first experience was installing Slackware from 26 floppy disks. Since that time, I have run dozens of distributions, even inventing my own for a short time!
Used many architectures including ix86, x86_64, DEC Alpha, Sun SPARC and UltraSPARC, ARM, and PowerPC; completely hand-compiled an entire Linux system; performed Linux system administration duties professionally from 2004-present; custom compiled kernels for embedded applications; configured,...

MATLAB

MATLAB is a computer programming language invented for and tuned to give very good performance while dealing with very large matrices. It is used for everything from imagine processing to simulating weather. I'll make you a MATLAB superstar.
