Instructor TEACHING EXPERIENCE MATH 5194-B: Stochastic Calculus for Financial Mathematics II Fall 2017 I developed this course; a continuation of the spring course (below). We use the tools from stochastic calculus to price a variety of American and exotic options in continuous time. We then evaluate a number of interest rate models, and finally we introduce the mathematics necessary to understand stochastic calculus when the underlying measure is a jump diffusion process. We also learned numerical methods for solving PDEs, and implemented these methods to price exotic options. MATH 5194-A: Stochastic Calculus for Financial Mathematics I Spring 2017 I developed this graduate level course, which begins with measure theory and integration, derives Browning motion from a simple random walk, and then derives the continuous time asset pricing model of Black and Scholes. The majority of the course is spent introducing and proving the necessary background material from stochastic calculus. Since this course was never taught at Ohio State before, I developed a syllabus, day-to-day schedule and standards of evaluation for students. This was a mixed course of undergraduates and graduate students.
John Holmes 3 MATH 1151: Calculus 1 Spring 2017, Fall 2015, 2016, 2017 This is a first course in calculus for students at. Team taught with more than ten sections, this highly coordinated course covered topics including limits, exponential functions, derivatives and integration. My sections consistently performed at the top. MATH 3589: Introduction to Financial Mathematics Spring 2016, Fall 2016 This course introduces students to the binomial asset pricing model and the mathematical background needed to rigorously prove the results used in financial economics. MATH 10250: Elements of Calculus 1 Fall 2014 This is a first course in calculus for arts and letters, business and architect majors. Topics include limits, exponential functions, derivatives and integration. I created and maintained a website and online quiz system. MATH 10260: Elements of Calculus 2 Fall 2012 The second course in a two part series for business majors. We focused on applications of calculus ideas including constrained optimization, interest rates, and the Solow growth model. Teaching Assistant MATH 1151: Flipped and Flexible Calculus 1 Spring 2016, Fall 2015 In this half online course, student s only in person contact was a bi-weekly recitation administered by myself. We focused on collaborative learning, using worksheets and a weekly quiz to review material from the online lectures. MATH 40570/50570: Mathematical Methods in Financial Economics Spring 2014 Helped write examples and homework problems, as well as revised lecture materials which are intended to become a book. Wrote and graded homework assignments and exams, and met with students for extra help outside of class. MATH 22550: Calculus I Fall 2013 Conducted a tutorial for a first semester calculus aimed for engineering students. The tutorial focused on collaborative learning, using worksheets to guide the discussion and a weekly quiz to expose students to exam questions. I helped construct materials used by several sections, graded and held office hours. MATH 22560: Calculus II Fall 2011, Spring 2013 Conducted a tutorial where the main focus was to answer questions over homework and administer a weekly quiz and worksheet. I also constructed the materials, graded and proctored exams, and held office hours. MATH 22580: Linear Algebra/Differential Equations Spring 2012 Responsible for leading tutorials, writing and grading quizzes, holding office hours and grading exams. Tested the learning environment of a flipped classroom.
