LaTeX Seminar. In Fall 2011, I started to conduct the LaTeX seminar for FYM faculty and other interested participants. It will meet on Fridays from 1:00-2:00 in CPCOM 107. For more information, please click here.

Teaching and Related Activities

Programs for Graphing Calculators

I have written several programs for different graphing calculators. To see the programs or download them, please click here.

Randomly Generated Paper Exams

I have developed a system producing paper exams with randomly generated problems, in a fashion similar to WeBWorK. This way each student will receive his/her own unique exam form, which reduces cheating. To read more about this system or to download a sample exam, please click here.

I have given several talks about this system at the FYM Seminar (see above). Also, I gave a talk about this system at the MAA Southwestern sectional meeting in Sliver City, NM on April 3, 2009. For more information, please click here.
