Now
This page describes what I’m up to now. It is a written version of what I would say that I am doing if we met and you asked me what I am up. This page was inspired by Derek Siver’s now page movement. It is accurate as of June 2022.
Right now, I’m parenting, teaching, writing, and learning.
- I’m watching Mira do all sorts of stuff.
- Dressing herself.
- Talking. Using grammar. “Mira’s ball” and “big cat”
- We’re biking to and from daycare.
- I’m not teaching this summer. I am getting ready to teach:
- MAT B41: Techniques of the Calculus of Several Variables I
- MAT B42: Techniques of the Calculus of Several Variables II
- MAT A29: Calculus I for the Life Sciences
- MAT A22: Linear Algebra I for Mathematical Sciences
- I’m doing a bit of writing.
- Ami Mamolo and I are working on a paper about geometry, visualization, and abstract algebra for ZDM.
- A solo piece about teaching notebooks and self-regulation.
- A short note for FYMSiC newsletter about docstrip.
- I have a bit of travel planned:
- Algonquin for four days at Pog Lake
- Moncton to visit my sister-in-law
- Montreal for UK2022
- I’m hiking and exploring:
- I’m learning some things:
- docstrip package for $\LaTeX$ by making documents for my courses. I’m following this article Matthew Leingang: Using DocStrip for multiple document variants)
- Docstrip is a whole thing for me now. This summer, I am putting together a “full course” build. It will build all the documents for a math course: syllabus, Quercus announcements, assignments, term tests, quizzes, and exams (with solutions).
