...equations) and physics (general physics I and II, modern physics, astrophysics), with the subjects I enjoy teaching most being astro-related. The ability to introduce students to the awe of the cosmos and its mechanisms is one of the most valuable fruits I have obtained from this hat.

We ask each other...
