Teaching

During my stay at KERMIT, department of Applied Mathematics, Biometrics and Process Control, I am involved in several courses for bachelor and master bioscience engineering students, organized by the department. The course "Differential Equations", which is an obligatory course for second year bachelor students students, demands the lion's share of my time spent to teaching activities. Numerical approximation methods for ODEs, systems of ODEs and PDEs are taught by means of computer laboratories, while analytical solution methods are imparted through plenary exercise sessions. Furthermore, I'm teaching a course on Advanced Engineering Mathematics during the academic years 2009-2010 and 2010-2011, within the Masters Education and Research Programme in Sustainable Management of Natural Resources (VLIR-UOS program) at the Anton de Kom University of Suriname (More information). Apart from that, I am involved in the calculus course given to freshmen, and in the biannually organized master course computational techniques. Clicking one of the below listed links will take you to the information page of the selected course.

  • Differential equations
    • Ordinary differential equations
    • Systems of ordinary differential equations
    • Laplace transformation
    • Partial differential equations
    • Numerical methods for solving ordinary and partial differential equations
    • Dynamical systems theory
  • Calculus
    • Differential calculus
    • Integral calculus
    • Functions of several variables
    • First-order differential equations
    • Linear differential equations
  • Computational techniques
    • Fuzzy logic
    • Heuristic optimisation
    • Evolutionary algorithms
    • Cellular automata
  • Advanced Engineering Mathematics (Anton de Kom University, Suriname)
    • Ordinary differential equations
    • Systems of ordinary differential equations
    • Partial differential equations
    • Numerical methods for solving ordinary and partial differential equations

Besides my involvement in the enumerated courses, I have also supervised a bachelor project and I am currently supervising a master thesis, both dealing with CA. Presumably, we will offer more CA related topics to students in the forthcoming academic year. Pdf-files of supervised bachelor projects and master thesises can be obtained upon simple request.
