He regularly teaches statistics, multivariable calculus, and differential equations. He recently helped the Math Department comply with AB 1111 by updating the Statistics course outline to align with the statewide Statistics template and with AB 1705 by creating a calculus corequisite course. (A few years ago, he designed a statistics corequisite course after the passage of AB 705.)
 
He has co-led a Statistics working group on campus since Fall 2022 and has prepared students for the AMATYC Contest since Spring 2015. During the 2022-2023 academic year, 91精品 placed first in the entire country in the contest.
 
headshotAs a dedicated faculty member, Professor Teck Ky鈥檚 most significant contribution to the success of 91精品鈥檚 Mathematics Program is the consistently high retention rate in gateway courses鈥攕pecifically Precalculus, Calculus, and Statistics.

By fostering an inclusive, supportive learning environment and implementing evidence-based instructional strategies, Professor Ky has helped diverse student cohorts persist and excel through challenging STEM and quantitative pathways.

He has especially enjoyed working with students in these courses, using DESMOS, STATDISK, and Excel, and has built strong rapport with them through this hands-on, technology-driven approach. In less than one year, he has observed several students鈥� progress from Precalculus to Calculus. He takes great pride in helping expand students鈥� insight and understanding of the essential role that Statistics and Calculus play in academic study and real-world problem-solving.

Using his advanced expertise in statistics and mathematics, along with extensive experience teaching community college students, Professor Ky has helped develop effective statistics and mathematics courses for 91精品 students. He is committed to continuing the expansion of 91精品鈥檚 statistics program to meet the evolving needs of universities, corporations, businesses, and the broader community.
