My work collaborates with other research works that contain mathematical models that give birth to resulting mathematical equations which are in turn solved using derived numerical methods with well-tailored analysis properties of method stability and convergence. The application of these numerical methods on real life problems and interpretation of final findings is imperative. My Proficiency in Latex, Maple and Mathematical software greatly assist with the simulation of the numerical computations. I also assist with the tutelage of Mathematics students of both secondary and tertiary level equipping them with computational skills and technology of studying and passing Mathematics courses with ease.<\/span><\/p><p><strong style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">Positions, Scientific Appointments, and Honours<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Immediate Past Chairperson &#8211; Internally Generated Revenue Unit, Department of Mathematics, University of Lagos, Lagos.<\/li>\n<li>Financial Secretary &#8211; Organisation for Women in Science for the Developing World, UNILAG Chapter.<\/li>\n<li>Member, Financial Committee for Faculty of Science, University of Lagos, Lagos.<\/li>\n<li>Member, Nigerian Mathematical Society (NMS)<\/li>\n<li>Member, Mathematics Association of Nigeria (MAN)<\/li>\n<li>Member, Women In Mathematics (WIM)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><strong style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">Selected Most Recent Publications \/Contributions to Knowledge&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong> I.
