Dr. Englander's research concerns spatial branching particle systems and superprocesses, and their relationship to nonlinear partial differential equations. Special focus is on interactions and random environments. Furthermore, some non-classical random walks and inhomogeneous Markov chains are studied.

Continuation of MATH 2300. Topics include vectors, three-dimensional analytic geometry, partial differentiation and multiple integrals, and vector analysis. Department enforced prerequisite: MATH 2300 or APPM 1360 (minimum grade C-). Degree credit not granted for this course and APPM 2350.
MATH 3850 - Seminar in Guided Mathematics Instruction
Primary Instructor
-
Spring 2019
Provides learning assistants with an opportunity to analyze assessment data for formative purposes and develop instructional plans as a result of these analyses. These formative assessment analyses will build on the literature in the learning sciences. Students gain direct experiences interacting with the tools of the trade, especially with actual assessment data and models of instruction. May be repeated up to 3 total credit hours. Restricted to learning assistants in Math.
