Hello Summer Class of 2020

Posted on by

Hello everyone!

I’m very excited to get our class going this summer. As you can see from the summer schedule, we are covering a normal semester’s worth of course material in the span of 5 weeks (less actually) so things will be intense! On top of that, we are doing this online. While I gained some experience running the last third of my course last semester, I expect that I have stuff to learn about the best way to run things.

Please take a few minutes to watch this introductory video to the course. It covers:

  • How to get in touch with me
  • How to find important course materials like lectures and problem sets
  • Pretty pictures!

Don’t miss the video underneath as well that delves a bit into the course’s main topics and some aspects of how I grade.
