prof.dr.ir. Edwin van Dam

Expertise

I am a mathematician, specialized in combinatorics and algebra. I am one of the editors-in-chief of the diamond open access journal Electronic Journal of Combinatorics.

Teaching

I teach the courses Linear Algebra and Differentiation & Integration Theory in the BSc program Econometrics and Operations Research. I am currently the academic director (a.i.) of the MSc program Quantitative Finance and Actuarial Science. I was recently involved in a peer review of the BSc program for mathematics teachers in the Netherlands.

Courses

• Differentiation and Integration Theory
• Linear Algebra
