Mathematician.

Howard uses Typal Academy to share his love of learning. With degrees in computer science, mathematics, and physics, Howard spent a great deal of time helping other students via tutoring and lecturing for STEM courses both through university and privately (including as an assistant adjunct professor at UCLA). Now he creates educational content as a hobby.

He had a brutal transition in his first real analysis course. Proofs felt like obscure paragraphs about quoting theorems and too much was “left as an exercise to the reader.” Yet, he found the majority of problems in real analysis have common patterns that can be replicated to make templates for thinking about new problems. Undoubtedly, a great amount of effort and failed attempts are required to succeed in math studies. Yet, students can be empowered right from the start with intuitive graphics and example proofs.
