Teaching Aspirations

To contribute towards the education of future generations in three roles – first, as an educator to help students realise their potential; second, as a researcher engaging in multi-disciplinary research to inspire students to connect mathematics with applications; third, as an administrator to promote teaching excellence and drive new initiatives.

 

Teaching Strengths

  • Encourages students to be active learners by engaging them in deriving solutions and analysing examples
  • Enables students to grasp and appreciate concepts better by drawing examples from everyday life as well as using IT and Internet resources to illustrate ideas
  • Outstanding ability to make a wide variety of modules accessible to students from different faculties and backgrounds
  • Facilitates learning by building on simple concepts to simplify and extend into abstract ones Knack for presenting topics in an organised, coherent and systematic way

Biodata

Professor Goh Say Song received his B.A. (Hons) degree from the University of Oxford in 1988 and his M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, in 1990 and 1992 respectively. He joined the Department of Mathematics in 1994. He has successfully made various modules in mathematics accessible to students from different faculties and backgrounds, and inspired many of them to enjoy mathematics. Say Song’s research interests are on the theory and applications of wavelets, and he engages actively in multi-disciplinary research. He is currently an Assistant Head of the Department of Mathematics and the Deputy Director of the Centre for Wavelets, Approximation and Information Processing. He is a firm supporter of mathematics education and has given numerous mathematics enrichment lectures to schools and junior colleges.
