Teaching Style
I love teaching mathematics. The mathematics is the concentration of logic and common sense.
I am trying to teach mathematics as a logical science. I am selecting thoughtfully each step in the explanation. I am not jumping from topic to topic with no preparation and with no logical sequence. Each step in my explanation is the logical consequence of the previous steps.
The level of my explanations must correspond with the level of the students from one hand but from other hand I am trying to avoid the oversimplifications.
The good set of examples is extremely important: the examples must clarify the theoretical concept and generate interest to the whole course. I also consider some historical references about scientists who developed theories and about possible applications to be very useful toward student broadness and understanding of math.
