Teaching experience and related activities I have had the opportunity of teaching courses of Linear, Commutative and Abstract Algebra, Numerical Analysis, Differential Equations, Set Theory, Ramsey Theory, Mathematical Logic, Topology, Topological Dynamics, Number Theory, Calculus, Multivariable Calculus and Analysis. I have taught one-semester and quarter-long classes of varied size for undergraduates and graduate students of Mathematics, prospective Computer Scientists, Engineers, Administrators, Physicists and Biologists. Besides lecturing to students, my responsibilities have included preparing the syllabus and off course grading homework and exams. Currently, I am a Postdoctoral Scholar at the University of Denver (DU), Colorado. So far I have taught (in English) the following courses at DU: Calculus I (Fall 2013, Fall 2014), Calculus II (Winter 2014, Winter 2015) and Multivarible Calculus (Fall 2013, Spring 2014, Spring 2015). I have been supervisor for six undergraduate students, two graduate students in the Master s program and one PhD student. All of them succesfully completed their programs. You will find more information about my role as supervisor at the end of this CV. 1 In Venezuela, Aggregate Professor is a rank between Assistant Professor and Associate Professor 3
I had the great opportunity to be a supervisor of the Community Service Program for Students, in the Central University of Venezuela (2008 2011). In that program, we helped students to serve as instructors in poor communities, in schools for children and youngsters with drug abuse problems and in homeless shelters.
