Office Hours

I am a SUNY Geneseo alumni with a degree in Mathematics with Secondary Education Certification, followed by a Masters in Mathematics Education. I taught high school and middle school until my children were born, at which time I began part-time work teaching night classes at Monroe Community College. I joined the math department at SUNY Geneseo in January 2007 where my duties include: work with the pre-service math teacher candidates, supervise student teachers during their semester-long field experience, teach Math 140 &141 (Math Concepts for Elementary Ed), Math 213,221,222 (Calculus I & II), Math 237 (Discrete Math), and Math 160 (Elements of Chance).

MATH 112: Precalculus
This course is designed primarily for the student who needs a foundation in algebra and trigonometry for the study of calculus. The concept of function and graphical representation of functions is stressed. Topics covered: real numbers; algebra of real numbers including equations and inequalities; functions and their graphs including polynomials, rational expressions, logarithmic and exponential, trigonometric; algebra of the trigonometric functions including identities, equations, polar coordinates, complex numbers, systems of equations.
MATH 237: R/Intro Discrete Mathematics
This course covers the basic tools of mathematics and computer science - logic, proof techniques, set theory, functions, inductive processes, counting techniques - with applications to such areas as formal languages, circuit theory and graph theory.
