About Xander

Xander is interested in pure mathematics and mathematics education. He holds a bachelor's degree in mathematics with an emphasis in statistics from the University of Nevada, Reno, and has completed a teacher preparation program at the same institution.

As part of a teaching assistantship designed to help defray the cost of his education, Xander is also teaching remedial algebra at the university.
