Math 320: Linear Algebra and Differential Equations (Teaching Assistant)

I am a Teaching Assistant for Math 320: Linear Algebra and Differential Equations at UW–Madison, where I lead three weekly discussion sections (around 60 students in total).

Responsibilities

• Designing guided examples, and weekly exit tickets
• Leading problem-solving sessions and facilitating group discussions
• Holding office hours at the Math Learning Center (MLC)
• Supporting students with matrix algebra, eigenvalues, ODE systems, and numerical methods

Teaching Philosophy

I aim to make mathematical ideas intuitive and approachable.
My discussion sections focus on:

• clear step-by-step reasoning
• collaborative learning in small groups

Notes

Teaching Math 320 has strengthened my ability to explain abstract concepts clearly and to support students with diverse mathematical backgrounds. I enjoy helping students develop confidence in linear algebra and differential equations through structured reasoning and active engagement.
