Rate My Professor Yuliya Tugai

Mrs. Yuliya Tugai is a Lecturer in the School of Mathematical Sciences within the College of Sciences at Adelaide University. Originally from Kharkov, Ukraine, she obtained her Master's degree in Mathematics in 1989 and then pursued PhD studies for three years. Tugai moved to Australia with her family in 1998 and began working as a tutor in the School of Information Technology and Mathematical Sciences at the University of South Australia (UniSA) in 2001. She also holds a position as a lecturer in the South Australian Institute of Business and Technology (SAIBT Navitas). Her career reflects a commitment to mathematics education, transitioning from tutoring to lecturing roles across institutions in South Australia.

At Adelaide University, Tugai teaches a wide array of undergraduate courses in mathematics, including Foundations in Mathematics (MATH 1000), Linear Algebra (MATHX 104), Essential Mathematics (MATH 1015), Calculus 1 (MATH 1054), Mathematical Methods for Engineers 1 (MATH 1063), Mathematical Methods for Engineers 2 (MATH 1064), Essential Mathematics 2: Calculus (MATH 1067), Quantitative Methods in Health (MATH 1065), Essential Mathematics 1: Algebra and Trigonometry (MATH 1066), Statistical Methods (MATH 1068), Mathematical Methods for Engineers 3 (MATH 2028), Geometry (MATH 2033), and Topics in Mathematics 1 (MATH 3040). Previously, as a Research Assistant at UniSA School of Mathematics, she co-authored the publication "Heroin users in Australia: population trends" in Drug and Alcohol Review (2004, Volume 23, Issue 1, pages 107-116), with C. Yalçın Kaya, Jerzy A. Filar, Manju R. Agrawal, Robert L. Ali, Linda R. Gowing, and Richard Cooke. This work addressed population trends among heroin users in Australia. Tugai's extensive teaching experience encompasses mathematical methods for engineers, calculus, statistics, geometry, and quantitative skills for health and laboratory sciences.
