Teaching Interests
I teach a range of mathematical modules to undergraduate students across a range of different programmes including students studying Physical Education and Mathematics; Mathematical Sciences; Financial Mathematics and Law Plus, among others. IN the 2018/19 academic year I am responsible for co-ordinating modules in the areas of:
- Algebra & Discrete Mathematics (2 modules)
- Group Theory (1 module)
- Geometry (1 module).
In the past I have co-ordinated a mathematics pedagogy module for undergraduate, pre-service mathematics teachers and I have acted as a guest lecture in the following modules:
- PME Pedagogy
- Number Theory
- Pure Mathematics
