Amir M. Hashemi BSc, MSc, Lecturer Phone: (00) 47 55 58 77 15 Fax: (00) 47 55 58 77 90 Email: ahas@hib.no Office: E605 Institute for Informatics and Mathematics Engineering Faculty  Bergen University College, Norway. Curriculum Vitae Means ”the course of one’s life “ I have a MSc in applied mathematics and Diploma of Education and my research field is ocean acoustics. (picture1,picture2, picture3) I was granted a PhD scholarship at Nansen Environmental research Centre in 1996. I worked then part time at Bergen University College. After the first year of my teaching carrier, I was offered a teaching/research position at Engineering Faculty. I love teaching and I believe it is possible to make mathematics interesting and easier to understand by practical examples from our daily life. I have written some reports to explain this issue. I believe it is possible to make mathematics so easy that everyone can understand it. My inspiration is from a sentence of Bahá’u’lláh: Regard man as a mine rich in gems of inestimable value. Education can, alone, cause it to reveal its treasures, and enable mankind to benefit therefrom.” Bahá’u’lláh I was rewarded the prize “lecturer of the year” in 1998/1999 by the students at Bergen university college and 2005/2006 at Mathematical Sciences at University of Bergen after a 4 months substitute position I travel often and have been in Denmark(12 times), Sweden (9 times), London (8times), Sydney(7 times), Nederland(4 times), Crete(4 times), Valencia (4 times), Barcelona(twice), Germany(twice), Finland, Poland, Bulgaria, France (Paris, Lyon) . Most of all I love Island of Crete and Kiama area in New South Wales. I was guest researcher at Institute of Applied mathematics, University of Crete, Greece (June 1996, 3 months) and have also been guest lecturer at applied mathematics department, University of Valencia, Spain twice (October 2001, 3 weeks , May 2003, 4 weeks, April 2010, 2 weeks, March 2012, 2 weeks). I work currently at university of Bergen as well where I teach Calculus and its applications for 1. year students. There is 300 students who take the course. I am extern member of examination committee of Bodø University , And University of Tromsø. My kind parents and two wonderful brothers live in a beautiful town, Kiama, in New South Wales. My younger brother has accomplished his degree as pharmacist from Charles Sturt University. I play football twice a week and swim 3-4 times a week. One the best time of my life in this world is to be with my nephews, brothers and my parents. And the best time of my life has been to be with my soul mate, my wonderful wife. I love planting roses and trees. My favourite fruit is Figs and actually I have managed to have two figs trees (black and green figs) in my small garden even if in such a cold winter as in Norway.
