The overall goals of my research in mathematics education are to better understand undergraduate students¨ obstacles in learning abstract mathematics, to use the knowledge gained to develop educational innovations for the teaching and learning of transition courses, and therefore to bridge gaps between the lower division and upper division of undergraduate mathematics courses. I have conducted research on discovering how undergraduate students develop their reasoning during transition to advanced mathematics. Using the knowledge gained from my research, I have developed educational innovations for transition-to-proof and introductory real analysis courses. My current research focuses on students¨ development of the concept of function and the concept of limit as well as the role of mathematical intuition in learning the mathematical ideas and proofs. I believe that tighter integration of conceptual schemes for the concept of function and the concept of limit would be foundational to students¨ successful transition to the learning of advanced mathematics ideas, and I also believe that students¨ development of mathematics intuition would enhance their learning of abstract mathematics. My research in mathematics has been in the area of differential geometry, computer aided geometric design, and computational geometry. |
