Courses I'm teaching Spring 2024

I’m teaching two courses in Spring 2024, and I thought I’d post the course descriptions here.

  • Modeling

    The first is Math 087 Mathematical Modeling.

    I taught this course Fall 2020 and really enjoyed it. Looking forward to teaching it again!

    As some practical information, for code use I’ll mostly use python together with various scientific computing libraries (numpy, scipy, pandas, …), and I plan to use jupyter notebooks both in the lectures and for course notes. There are some more details in the course description (the link above).

  • Topics: Applied Algebra

    The other course I’m teaching is Math 190 Topics in Algebra.

    As a quick summary, I plan to cover three different components; each component should last about 4 weeks (8 lectures):

    • linear representations of finite groups
    • error correcting codes
    • formalization of mathematics

    See the course description (the link above) for a little more info. If you have questions, write and ask!
