Teaching -- List of recent UMKC courses:
Swati's interest is in Mathematical Biology, she already has two publications (on Hepatitus C, and HIV/AIDS), and has given conference talks in India, France, and the SIAM (Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics) annual conference in 2010 in Pittsburgh, PA.

Swati previously lectured Mathematics for Liberal Arts, Calculus I, and Calculus III at the University of Florida, Gainesville. Her teaching encourages active learning, problem solving in groups, a positive learning environment, and whenever possible, inquiry based teaching. She remembers that her first experience teaching was right after high school, when when was asked to step in at her former Carmel High School in Kolkata, India, to teach Statistics to seniors while a teacher recovered from a broken leg. She loved the experience and has enjoyed teaching since then.
