Hi!  I'm Cheryl Niccum.

Just a little bit about myself...  

I LOVE teaching students mathematics. 

I am a part-time instructor at WVC.  This is my twelfth year at WVC.  I teach developmental and college level mathematics.  I enjoy teaching students.  I believe that mathematics can be learned (and enjoyed) by anyone willing to put forth the time and practice effort.

I have a double major BA in Mathematics and Secondary Education from Anderson University (Anderson, IN).  In 2008, I completed my masters degree in mathematics (MAT mathematics) at Central Washington University.  I have been teaching or tutoring mathematics in some form since I was in high school!  (A long, looong time ago...in a different state than Washington.)

I am especially intrigued by dynamical systems.  The Mandelbrot set and fractals are Awesome !   The video loop at the right is of the Mandelbrot set and zooming in on a portion of the set.

Students may email me at cniccum@wvc.edu.
