...how I worked towards meeting this goal. My teaching philosophy is basically the Socratic method. Among its many benefits, this method makes it easy to engage with students. I also like to stress understanding. I remember the 1973 movie, "The Paper Chase", and the memorable performance by John Houseman, as Professor Kingsfield. I always thought that portrayal, in terms of teaching style, was something I admired, and I used that memory as a guide, as...

...4. I sincerely believe that any science void of virtue and justice is sophistry, not wisdom. The same applies to the Science of teaching Mathematics. The teachers must have empathy and infinite patience with their students and the moral obligation to guide and be honest with them. 5.

...class-time revolved around asking us questions that led us to the points he was trying to make. While not everything can be taught purely in this fashion, I try to make my lessons focus on principles and processes, creating a deeper understanding of the facts presented in class or in the textbook.

You can learn from the most basic atoms (don't trust them, they make up everything!) to the most complex...
