NOVA Math Tutoring
02.21.2011 -- I'm no longer offering this service.
Certain NOVA courses in the Mathematics Department I may be able to help more than in others. For some it may just take a little time to familiarize myself or to look up values in reference materials, but for others I may not have the necessary knowledge. Here I've listed the courses, and my background in them.
If you are interested in tutoring feel free to fill out this form, and I'll get back to you.
These courses I can help with all or most of the material:
| All or Most of the Material | ||

| MTH 2 | Arithmetic | |
| MTH 3 | Algebra I | |
| MTH 4 | Algebra II | |
| MTH 6 | Developmental Geometry | |
| MTH 7 | Developmental Trigonometry | |
| MTH 60 | Introduction to College Algebra | |
| MTH 103 | Basic Technical Mathematics I | |
| MTH 104 | Basic Technical Mathematics II | |

| MTH 120 | Introduction to Mathematics | |
| MTH 151 | Mathematics for the Liberal Arts I | |
| MTH 152 | Mathematics for the Liberal Arts II | |
| MTH 157 | Elementary Statistics | |
| MTH 163 | Precalculus I | |
| MTH 241 | Statistics I | This is the material that I have been helping with on tutor.com. |
| MTH 271 | Applied Calculus I | Most of this material I could probably help with. |
| MTH 286 | Discrete Mathematics | Most of this material I could probably help with. |
I have some gaps with respect to these courses, but may still be able to help with various parts.

| Course Number | Description | Comment |
| MTH 126 | Mathematics for Allied Health | May not have encountered certain measurement systems (e.g. apothecary, although measuremet conversions are available here and on Wolfram|Alpha), and may not know certain procedures (e.g. liquid and dosage computations, and how to compute the IV drip factor). I could probably help with other parts however. |
| MTH 164 | Precalculus II | Could probably help with most of this material, but may need to brush up on conic sections. |
| MTH 166 | Precalculus with Trigonometry | Could probably help with most of this material, but may need to brush up on conic sections. |
| MTH 182 | Finite Mathematics II | I have studied most of this other than financial mathematics. |
| MTH 213 | Advanced Engineering Technical Mathematics | Could probably help with most of this. |
| MTH 242 | Statistics II | Most of the material here I could help with, however I would need to brush up on non-parametric methods. |
| MTH 243 | Probability and Statistics I | Most of this I have studied and/or tutored but not everything. |
| MTH 244 | Probability and Statistics II | I've studied most of this although I'm not as familiar with multiple regression, and ANOVA beyond the single-factor case. However, I have tutored more sophisticated ANOVA calculations referring to the formulas and procedures in my book. |
These courses I'm not sure about. Maybe I could help and maybe I cannot:

| Course Number | Description | Comment |
| MTH 150 | Topics in Geometry | I haven't studied non-Euclidean geometry, constructions, cross section visualizations, or the Van Hiele method. |
| MTH 173 | Calculus with Analytic Geometry I | I have studied calculus but it was a while ago, I remember the main points, but not everything. |
| MTH 174 | Calculus with Analytic Geometry II | Some of the material I could help with almost immediately, but others I am not as familiar with. |
| MTH 181 | Finite Mathematics I | I haven't studied the Simplex Method, Markov Chains, or Game Theory in any depth. |
These courses cover material that I learned a long time ago, so I may not remember all of the ideas, or procedures. I may not have used the material after I learned it.
| Long Time Ago | ||
| Course Number | Description | Comment |
| MTH 272 | Applied Calculus II | I haven't studied some of these topics in about ten years. |
| MTH 285 | Linear Algebra | I took a course in Linear Algebra back in fall of 1999. |
| MTH 277 | Vector Calculus | I studied this material about ten years ago. |
| MTH 291 | Differential Equations | I took a course in Differential Equations in spring of 1999. |
These courses cover material that I did not learn in any depth, or did not learn at all.
| Haven't Studied | ||
| Course Number | Description | Comment |
| MTH 200 | Abstract Algebra | I haven't studied Abstract Algebra. |
| MTH 250 | College Geometry | I haven't studied College Geometry. |
| MTH 292 | Topics in Differential Equations | I haven't studied this material. |
