About Jose


Bio

I am a senior at the University of Delaware finishing up degrees in all 3 areas listed above. I hope to graduate this fall with a BS in Maths, and BA in both Philosophy and Computer Science. I have always had an interest in education and have been a lot of friends' best resource when it came to preparing for classes at several levels. Since high school and throughout college I have been known as a good person to ask for help not just in passing classes, but in understanding the material...

I am a senior at the University of Delaware finishing up degrees in all 3 areas listed above. I hope to graduate this fall with a BS in Maths, and BA in both Philosophy and Computer Science. I have always had an interest in education and have been a lot of friends' best resource when it came to preparing for classes at several levels. Since high school and throughout college I have been known as a good person to ask for help not just in passing classes, but in understanding the material and getting more than a good grade.

I have always loved learning and knew for a long time that I would spend a lot of time learning what I loved which was pure mathematics, computer programming, philosophy, and any way the three are related. I have spent countless hours thinking about all of these and almost as many explaining them to others.

Approved Subjects

Computer Programming

Computer Programming

I started out with Computer Programming in high school, earning a 4 on the AP Computer Science exam. While at the University of Delaware I earned enough credits in computer science to earn a minor in it. I have experience in Java, C++, and Python as well as a good understanding of programming paradigms such as Object Oriented Programming and functional programming.
Discrete Math

Discrete Math

At the University of Delaware I've taken several classes in discrete math including graph theory, basic counting, the study of groups, finite fields and other algebraic structures. In particular discrete math has always interested me because of its deep connection to Number Theory. I am comfortable with all of the concepts taught at the undergraduate level in Discrete math and have achieved good grades in all such classes.
Linear Algebra

Linear Algebra

Linear algebra seemed boring to me at first, though I did well enough in the class at my University. The following year, I took a graduate course called Vector Spaces (which was a very different view on Linear algebra) that ignited an interest in the area I hadn't had before. I graded homework for an undergraduate linear algebra course and helped students understand the material. I still find the subject interesting enough to help students find it more engaging than I did when I first learned the subject.
Logic

Logic

I easily passed the intro Logic class in the computer science department and went on to take Graduate level classes on the subject in both the computer science and philosophy departments. Propositional logic, predicate logic, general formal systems, mathematical logic, and several types of modal logic and deviant logics are topics that have all been covered to differing degrees and are areas I can help with.
