Mathematics & statistics

by Yarl

Apr 25, 2011

I graduated from California State University, Fullerton with a Master's degree in Applied Mathematics. I also hold a Master's degree in Applied Statistics.

I have several years of high school and college level teaching experience. While I was pursuing my master in applied mathematics, I worked as a teaching assistant at CSUF, where I taught intermediate algebra. My responsibilities included preparing course material, preparing and grading mid-term and final examinations, homework and weekly quiz assignments, and conducting tutorial and discussion sessions. Upon graduating from CSUF, I worked as an Instructor in mathematics at Claflin University. At Claflin University, I taught intermediate algebra, college algebra, pre-calculus and statistics.

In my own teaching, I try to covey the same passion and clarity to my students and to explain difficult concepts using real world examples. I am always well prepared and always chose examples that help address specific questions...See More

My name is Kathy. I stumbled upon your post about receiving your master's in applied mathematics from CSUF. I recently applied there myself and was conditionally admitted. I have a few questions regarding the program at CSUF. It's been a long time since I've been in school (about 7 years). My bachelor's degree was in Computer Engineering from UCI (about 3.2 GPA), but I teach high school mathematics now. I guess you could say I know all of my math up to Calculus really well, but beyond that it's a bit hazy. My goal is to become a math teacher at a community college, but it requires at least a Master's in Applied Math. I was just wondering from your point of view if learning the content material in the Master's classes is still possible if you had been out of school a long time. It makes me a little nervous thinking about how much I probably don't remember from college. Any tips would be great...

Thank you,

Kathy Nguyen [email removed]
