Objective: successful productions of pragmatic math education materials enticing
yet affordable as well as effective and rewarding, and continuous production of those in
a team environment
Summary
• Math educational career of over 25 years
• Ample experience in producing pragmatic math education materials, sequences of
examples strategically designed, helping get the concept and the fluency
• Eagerly working for students with various academic strengths
• Tactful and encouraging mentor of students in various learning styles
• Dedicated to student's math education and interaction with the parents or guardians
Experience
Math Publisher (Examples Developer), Consultant, and Tutor
1989 – Present
Produce examples with solutions with steps and details to help get the concept of math
object in algebra, geometry, and trigonometry, and to help build and increase the fluency,
so that students can do the math productively, and get solutions fast enough
• Producing examples where students take steps to get the solutions
• Designing sequences of examples, and supplying them to students so that they can
approach the concept of math object as numbers of all kinds, ratios, rates, powers,
exponents or logs, equations, functions, formulas or identities, graphs, angles, lines,
polygons, etc.
• Designing sequences of practice sets so that students get and increase the fluency and
strengthen the concept
• Encouraging or inducing students to alter or modify the processes of solving examples,

2. that is, problem solving procedures, i.e., algorithms, so that they can speed up (proceed
more productively, or even find short cuts), or find other ways to get the solutions, and
thus, can grow confidence and interest
• Helping thus, students get to see themselves what they learn, what it’s about, how it’s
made, how it works, and what they can do with it
In short, students get the concept doing the right examples, and get and grow the fluency
doing the right practice so that they can ease math work and get solutions fast enough.
English Language Instructor at Pagoda Academy
1994 – 1995
Helped people with how to learn and use English in practical manner, so helped them do
practice to get used to the language pragmatically rather than academically
App Skills: MS Word, Adobe Acrobat and Photoshop, MathType, etc.
Together with some basic computer language skills in FORTRAN, PASCAL, and C
Publications
The books listed below can help some teachers, those students who are advanced or
gifted in math, and those who want to be majors in engineering as mechanical or civil, or
majors in science as physics. And, what I am doing now is reconstruct (revise to a large
extent) the books adding much more examples in quantity and variety, diversifying them
in level or degree, and providing the analysis, explanations on the math basics involved,
formulas, identities, or theorems applied, rules or laws used, etc. by means of asking and
answering sequences of questions.
Calculation Examples Arithmetic 1 Published in 2012
The book is for some elementary, middle, or high school students gifted or advanced in
math and, explains what integers are about, how they work or how to work with them as
well as how those numbers mingle with arithmetic operations, together with their nature.

3. Calculation Examples Arithmetic 2 Published in 2012
The book is a book of examples on word problems, and is for some elementary or
middle school students gifted or advanced in math.
Calculation Examples Arithmetic 3 Published in 2012
The book is for some elementary or middle school students gifted or advanced in math,
and explains what rational numbers and radicals as irrational numbers are about, how
they work or how to work with them, as well as how those numbers mingle with
arithmetic operations, together with their nature.
Algebra Examples Polynomial Factorizations Published in 2011
This book is for middle or high school students gifted or advanced in math, and explains
how to manipulate polynomials, that is, how to change or alter, convert, or modify
expressions, which is essential and vital when doing algebra.
Algebra Examples Powers and Logarithms Published in 2011
This book is for middle or high school students gifted or advanced in math, and is about
math ideas called powers, exponents, logarithms, along with the algebra, that is,
exponential or log algebra, together with the functions and equations.
Algebra Examples Trigonometry Published in 2011
This book is for middle or high school students gifted or advanced in math, and is about
a math idea called trigonometry, and covers what it is, what it’s about, how it gets made,
how it works, and what we can do with it.
Algebra Examples Graph Operations Published in 2012
This book is for middle or high school students gifted or advanced in math, and is about
functions, equations, and how to change or modify them.
Changing a function or equation, we can do it changing its curve. Changing it, we
change its location or its form. Changing functions or equations, we say we do (or apply)
transformations to them. And, doing it, we do it changing its curve, that is, its graph. So
we can call it a graph operation, too.
This book is thus, about curves. More specifically, what’s covered here is how to put a
curve in a graph many different ways. So you will get to see in this book, how to move,
change or alter, or modify a curve, and how to get the equation of the curve changed.
You will get to see also, how to keep track of the variables used in the equation or

4. function when it is getting changed. And, we can even call them graph algebra. So we
don’t just do matrix applications to get a new curve or a new equation or function. In
this book, we approach transformations pragmatically rather than theoretically. So you
will get to see what actually changes and how changes are made or happen.
Algebra Examples Basic Functions Published in 2011
This book is for middle or high school students gifted or advanced in math, and is about
math ideas called functions. Using functions, we can see or express how things change.
More specifically, how values change as other values change. And, this book covers
what a function is, what it’s about, how it gets made, how it works, and what we can do
with it, together with examples with the solutions with steps and details.
Conics Published in 2012
There are five books, each of which is listed as below, and is about basics in elementary
algebra, and covers equations most often used in high schools and early years in colleges
or universities. The equations are for curves called conic sections, often just called
conics. The books help students get the concept of conic sections so that they can see
what the equations are about and what they can do with them as well as how to work
with them. And, the books are for middle or high school students gifted or advanced in
math.
Algebra Examples Conics 1 Published in 2012
The book covers lines in conic sections, and helps students get the concept so that they
can see what the lines and their equations are about and what they can do with them and
how to work with them.
Algebra Examples Conics 2 Published in 2012
The book covers parabolas in conic sections, and helps students get the concept so that
they can see what the parabolas and their equations are about and what they can do with
them and how to work with them.
Algebra Examples Conics 3 Published in 2012
The book covers circles in conic sections, and helps students get the concept so that they
can see what the circles and their equations are about and what they can do with them
and how to work with them.

5. Algebra Examples Conics 4 Published in 2012
The book covers ellipses in conic sections, and helps students get the concept so that
they can see what the ellipses and their equations are about and what they can do with
them and how to work with them.
Algebra Examples Conics 5 Published in 2012
The book covers hyperbolas in conic sections, and helps students get the concept so that
they can see what the hyperbolas and their equations are about and what they can do
with them and how to work with them.
Geometry Examples Positions and Angles Published in 2011
This book is for middle or high school students gifted or advanced in math, and is about
basics in geometry. In particular, it’s about angles, and explains how to work with angles
and how to find angles doing geometry, together with how to work with triangles and
circles doing problems in geometry so that your geometry can run not only properly but
fast enough, too.
