My Courses
Math 1375 – Ganguli – Fall 2020
The main topics of this course will be an in-depth study of functions: polynomial functions, radical functions, rational functions, trigonometric functions, exponential and logarithmic functions. We will also study connections to vectors and complex numbers; solving trigonometric equations, and identities involving sum, double and half-angle formulas; and the Binomial Theorem.
MATH1372 – Ganguli – Spring 2020
An introductory course in statistics and probability. Topics covered include descriptive statistics, sample spaces and probabilities, discrete probability distributions, expectation and variance, continuous probability distributions, confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, and correlation and linear regression. Spreadsheets are used throughout the semester.
MAT2440/D641 – Ganguli – Fall 2018
This course introduces the foundations of discrete mathematics as they apply to computer science, focusing on providing a solid theoretical foundation for further work. Topics include functions,relations, sets, simple proof techniques, Boolean algebra, propositional logic, elementary number theory, writing, analyzing and testing algorithms.
An introductory course in statistics and probability. Topics covered include descriptive statistics, sample spaces and probabilities, discrete probability distributions (Binomial, Hypergeometric), expectation and variance, continuous probability distributions (Normal, Student, Chi-Square), confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, and correlation and linear regression. Spreadsheets are used throughout the semester.
Math 1372 – Statistics with Probability – Fall 2014
An introductory course in statistics and probability. Topics covered include descriptive statistics, sample spaces and probabilities, discrete probability distributions (Binomial, Hypergeometric), expectation and variance, continuous probability distributions (Normal, Student, Chi-Square), confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, and correlation and linear regression. Spreadsheets are used throughout the semester.
My Projects
Opening Gateways Project Management
This is a private group for members of the management team of “Opening Gateways to Completion: Open Digital Pedagogies for Student Success in STEM,” a Title V Cooperative Arrangement grant funded through U.S. Department of Education’s Supporting Hispanic-Serving Institutions program. The project, a collaboration between City Tech and the Borough of Manhattan Community College, is focussed on using Open Digital Pedagogies to increase student success in gateway mathematics courses for STEM disciplines.
