About Rida
A structural approach to mathematics.
Rida Jamal Badawi Abu-Sokon — known publicly as Rida Abu-Sokon — is a mathematics teacher and independent Jordanian researcher, and the author of Unified Analytical Methods (2026).
Biography
Teacher, independent researcher, author.
Rida holds a bachelor's degree from Al-Zaytoonah University of Jordan. His research interests are integral transforms and differential operators, with particular emphasis on analytical methods for higher-order derivatives and matrix-based techniques.
His first book, published in its first edition in August 2026 through Kindle Direct Publishing, brings these interests together: it connects successive differentiation, integral transforms, geometric representation, root structure, and the Matrix Boundary Method in one progression, and publishes interactive demonstrations alongside the text.
RIDA MATH is the practice built around that work — teaching, consultation, learning pathways, community, and interactive mathematics — so the same structural approach serves students as well as researchers.
This biography is limited to facts stated in the book. Rida works independently; RIDA MATH is not an accredited institution and no institutional affiliation is implied.
Research philosophy
Complexity becomes navigable when its structure is exposed.
- 01Complexity
- 02Structure
- 03Geometry
- 04Unification
- 05Computation
- 06Understanding
The book's stated aim is to connect operations usually taught as separate toolkits — repeated differentiation, continuous transforms, and discrete matrix computation — and to make high-order calculation less laborious.
The same habit shapes his teaching: find the structure that a procedure hides, make it visible, and let the student carry the reasoning. The book itself is explicit that its approach does not replace the established results of classical calculus; it offers an integrated perspective on them.
Research interests
Areas of work.
- 01Higher-Order Parametric Derivatives via Definite IntegralsEvaluating high-order parametric derivatives as single definite integrals, without repeated quotient rules.
- 02An Operator-Based Framework for Integral TransformsLaplace, Fourier, and Mellin transforms generated from one kernel by repeated differentiation.
- 03Mathematical Geometry: Angular–Hyperbolic RepresentationReading Laplace transforms through circular and hyperbolic coordinates in the damping–frequency plane.
- 04Root Geometry and Higher Derivatives of Rational FunctionsClosed formulas for derivatives of rational functions, read from the geometry of roots.
- 05Matrix Boundary MethodTruncated Laplace integrals and linear ODEs reduced to one resolvent linear system.
