Math Enrichment

My involvement with Math Enrichment Centre began in 2012-2013, when I taught a yearlong evening course MathLink for strong high-school students. Since then, together with Yuly Billig and Math Kangaroo Contest, Canada we created Math Kangaroo Adventures, math enrichment evening program for elementary school kids, grades 3-6.

Main duties

In academia, you need to teach, to talk to young people. Otherwise, with this research and a constant self-doubt, one can just ....go crazy. (Robert Adler, c. 2006)
I was blessed to "grow up" alongside some amazing educators like Haya Kaspi, Avishai Mandelbaum, Robert Adler in Technion and Steven Shreve in Carnegie Mellon University, all of whom had a great impact on my forming as a teacher.

  And here I am, my own master. At Carleton I designed and taught three higher-level courses: Topics in Probability- Stochastic Calculus for Finance (MATH 5900), Monte Carlo Simulations (STAT 4555) and Network Performance (STAT 5704). In addition, I taught two pre-calculus courses MATH 0006 and MATH 0107, as well as 3-rd year probability courses STAT 3508 and STAT 3558.
