I strongly believe that Mathematics, like any other science, cannot exist in isolation, and can only live through an active exchange of ideas between the people who pursue it. Since an important segment of the mathematics community are the students learning it, teaching is one of the most important components of the process of doing mathematics. My teaching philosophy is based on the following ideas.
1. Creating a strong motivation.
2. Emphasizing the importance of gaining mathematical experience.
3. Active learning.
4. Using Technology.
I believe in a hands-on approach by experimenting with mathematical software. Thus, I make use of the computer algebra systems Sage and Maple in my classes, and I am strongly involved in promoting Sage as a teaching and research tool in our department. For checking the correctness linear programming problems outputs, I use the Excel Solver, by which they can solve LPP problems involving more than two variables.
5. Adapting my teaching to the level and the interests of the students. I consider this a very important aspect of teaching. In my career, I have taught a variety of courses, ranging from beginning undergraduate to advanced graduate ones. In the lower division classes, I emphasize the use of various methods and techniques, while making sure that the students are able to select the most appropriate one(s) in a given situation. Since these students need the most assistance from the teacher, I constantly encourage them to ask questions, and to come to my office hours. In the upper division classes, I emphasize mathematical proofs and the importance of being rigorous.

Paying particular attention to various concrete aspects/details of teaching. Teaching mathematics is a complex job, with many concrete aspects to take care of beside the general principles discussed above. I enumerate the ones to which I pay particular attention.
• Preparing a syllabus that includes: topics taught, grading policies (including information on homework, tests, quizzes, and the final exam), standards to be met, help resources etc.
• Treating the students as responsible adults, giving them the necessary freedom, encouraging them to become more and more independent, as well as to talk to each other and to myself.
• Using a variety of methods for presenting the material being taught: pictures, formulas, descriptive statements, algorithm-style descriptions, computer simulations and experiments.
• Accuracy in writing, good board work.
• Reviewing the homework in class. If I have a grader, I make sure to give him/her enough information about how to grade the homework.
• Making use of the computer labs and the available mathematical software.
• Being accessible to the students outside the classroom.
