Presentations, Conferences and Workshops
The following is a list of some of the mathematics related activities that I have created, participated in and observed over the past few years. The University of Iowa's membership in the Heartland Mathematics Partnership, has given me the opportunity to speak to undergraduate groups from colleges and universities in the region; consequently I have designed a number of talks that assume nothing more than a good understanding of calculus. I have included links to the slides from some of these talks below. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
