PACKING LIST:

PROFESSOR: FELICIA TABING
DEPARTMENT: MATHEMATICS
RATE MY PROFESSOR: "She's a cool combination between an artist and a math professor. As a person who doesn't like math and having to take it every morning btw lecture and discussion, I felt like she brought a lot of color in this mostly grey topic (quite literally - pink hair). She teaches in a methodical way and applies math to the real world in her math problems!"
Professor Tabing teaches mathematics in USC Dornsife. Her research interests include Algebraic Topology and String Topology. She is also interested in art and math education!
