Teaching

Graduate Curriculum

  • Computer assisted proofs in nonlinear dynamics , This was a graduate workshop taught by myslef and J.P. Lessard at the Institute for Applied mathematics and Systems (IIMAS) in the Autonomous University of Mexico, Mexico City, the first week of August 2018. Videos, slides and some notes are available on the course webpage (link above).
  • Ordinary Differential Equations (under development...), This is a course being developed by J.P. Lessard, J.B. van den Berg, K. Mischaikow,M. Gamiero, and myself. The goal of the course is to present basic theory, computational methods, and a-posteriori analysis for ordinaty differential equations in a unified way. Lecture notes for the course are under development. The course ran in the Spring of 2016 at FAU.

Education Reimagined

As part of FAU's SACSCCOC reaffirmation for 2024, the university is required to develop a new Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP). The Provost's Office appointed members for a QEP Topic Selection Committee to steer the process. A total of 10 proposals were generated, with three finalists who developed full proposals and presented their plans to the university community in April.

The proposal selected to be FAU's next QEP topic was "LeArning Reimagined: Expanding the Learning Assistant (LA) Model across the Curriculum to Transform Teaching through Student-Centered Collaborative Learning". The program has since been rebranded as "Education Reimagined".

The proposal was developed by Brittanney Adelmann, Ph.D., director of the Math Learning Center, Jennifer Bebergal, Ph.D., associate dean for Retention and Academic Support, and myself (J.D. Mireles James, Ph.D.), associate professor of mathematics. Over the next ten years the program will bring active learning models to classrooms across the university.
