Brian
Having studied both economics and computer science at Caltech, Brian thinks about calculus the way business students need to — as a tool for modeling decisions, not as an exercise in proofs. He teaches derivatives through the lens of marginal analysis and optimization problems pulled from actual eco...

Alex
Most business calculus students don't struggle with the mechanics of taking a derivative — they struggle with translating a word problem about profit margins or demand curves into the right setup. Alex's applied mathematics training at Stanford means he can bridge that gap, turning vague business sc...

Jhonatan
Where most business calculus students stumble isn't the differentiation itself — it's translating a word problem about profit margins or demand curves into the right function to differentiate. Jhonatan's biology and neuroscience training gave him years of practice applying calculus to real systems, ...

Most business calculus students aren't struggling with the mechanics of taking a derivative — they're struggling to connect that derivative to what's actually happening with cost, revenue, or demand. David's background spanning computer science, history, and graduate work at Columbia and Chicago tra...

Angelo
I love helping students in topics related to math, to finance (public and private equity) and to engineering. I believe that if I can't explain concept, then I don't understand it. By that same token, if a student can't explain a concept back to me, then they don't understand it even if they say ...

Bryan
An economics degree from Brown gives Bryan a natural advantage when teaching business calculus — he already thinks in terms of cost functions, demand curves, and optimization because those were core to his own coursework. He breaks down derivatives and integrals by anchoring each one to the economic...

Drisana
Drisana's applied mathematics degree means she treats every derivative and integral as a tool with a specific job — and in business calculus, that job is usually answering questions about cost, revenue, or profit at the margin. She breaks down optimization problems and exponential growth models by s...

Pryce studied both economics and math at the University of Pennsylvania, which means he's spent years working with the exact functions business calculus revolves around — cost curves, demand equations, optimization models. When a problem asks what happens to profit at the margin or how to minimize a...
