TEACHING

During the academic year 2022-23 I will not teach. I will be away on sabbatical.

Here are other classes that I particularly enjoy teaching because
they are directly related with my research interests:

MATH 114 Convex Geometry

MATH 115A "Theory of Numbers" .

MATH 115B "Theory of Numbers" .

MATH 128C "Numerical Differential Equations''.

MATH 145 Combinatorics

MATH 146 "Algebraic Combinatorics''.

MATH 165 "Math and Computers" .

MATH 167 Applied Linear Algebra

MATH 168 "Mathematical Optimization''.

MATH 170 Mathematics for Data Sciences and Decision Making.

MATH 189 Advanced Problem Solving: Capstone

MATH 245 "Enumerative Combinatorics" .

MATH 246 Algebraic & Geometric Combinatorics

MATH 250ABC "Algebra" .

MATH 258B Discrete Optimization

Every two years or so I try to teach a graduate class (as Topics class MATH 280) on my most current research interests.
Here are the last two I taught:

MATH 280 "Algebraic and Geometric Methods in Optimization''.

MATH 280 Geometric and Topological Tools in Game Theory and Optimization

Here is a list of my former Ph.D Students (recent appointment listed).

UNDERGRAD STUDENTS

For undergraduates doing research is a nice experience. You get to use all you have learned in college in a single project and research gives you a taste of graduate school and tech jobs. Topics are very diverse. You can see a list of all honors senior thesis, since 2008. If your GPA is good, you should consider doing research to graduate with honors! A seniors thesis.

At UC Davis alone Prof. De Loera has supervised for the work of many undergraduates (those that went to graduate school marked with schools names, * means wrote a paper or a senior thesis).

Here are some papers in which undergraduates student contributed as co-authors.
