I'm a Ph.D. candidate in the Biomathematics program at Florida State University. I study the dynamics of excitable cells, particularly pancreatic beta-cells, under advisor Dr. Richard Bertram.

MAT5939: ACM Computation Seminar C++ and Fortran are suitable for scientific programming. They offer a platform for creating and manipulating data, and provide enough control over the system state to optimize code. Here are current and archived teaching materials.
MAC2312: Calculus 2: Calculus 2 elaborates on the topics introduced in the first course. Topics include integration techniques and applications, a brief introduction to differential equations, differentiation in various coordinate systems, and representation of functions as series.
MAC2311: Calculus 1: Calculus 1 is the study of small-scale (differential) and of large-scale (integrated) quantities. Differentiation, understood via derivatives as a rate of change, is inversely related to integration, understood via integrals as a cumulative sum. By the end of the course, students should be competent in differentiating, integrating, and using other tools commonly encountered in calculus to solve various problems that arise in the sciences.
MAC1140: Precalculus Algebra: Precalculus Algebra is an assortment of topics necessary to study calculus. Topics include polynomial, rational, exponential, and logarithmic functions, conic sections, systems of linear equations and sequences. By the end of the course, students should be proficient in solving algebraic equations, sketching graphs of functions, and manipulating sequences and series.
Atakora Computer Center: A computer center that I co-founded while teaching at Atakora Junior High School in Ghana. It hosts 11 computers in a renovated classroom as a venue that build teachers' capacity to offer practical instruction and increases computer literacy among students and community members.
