It involves writing and speaking about mathematics\, writ ing about teaching mathematics\, and preparing for teaching lower-level ma thematics courses. I would like to share and discuss with you my goals and philosophy and the objectives and methods involved in achieving a high le vel of awareness and skill in communicating mathematics in all capacities. \n\nSpeaker's bio: PhD from University of Arizona (integrable systems)\; P ostdoc Duke University\; Professorial faculty at LSU (applications of spec tral theory)\; Director of Graduate Studies for five years\; 9 PhD student s graduated\; 5 NSF grants\; some teaching awards.\n\nModerator's bio: Irf an Alam is an autistic mathematician\, currently working as a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Computer and Mathematical Sciences at Univers ity of Toronto Scarborough. He completed the BMath and MMath programs at t he Indian Statistical Institute (2009-2014)\, before joining Louisiana Sta te University as a graduate student\, where he obtained his PhD in mathema tics as well as MA in Philosophy in 2021. Irfan’s mathematical focus is on applications of nonstandard analysis to standard mathematics\, especial ly in probability theory\, topology\, and lately in the foundations of mac hine learning. He also works on the philosophy of mathematical practice\, with particular interests in the history of infinitesimals and in epistemi c injustices in mathematics caused by various socio-cultural norms.\n LOCATION:https://researchseminars.org/talk/CompMath/40/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
