Paul Burkins
Associate Professor Mathematics
About
I was a student at Harford Community College (HCC) that continued to work there as
a tutor, then an adjunct, and eventually a full time faculty member. My discipline
is Physics with a focus in optics, however, I am a member of the Math Faculty at HCC.
I currently teach math courses ranging from non-credit math up through differential
equations, with a focus on Calculus and above.
