Teaching

I have a license to teach mathematics at the secondary level in the state of Minnesota.

As an instructor for Linear Algebra and Differential Equations, I prepared these PDFs as a review of the sections in Edward and Penney's "Differential Equations and Linear Algebra." It includes example problems which have been worked out in some detail. I hope you find these useful.
