Teaching

In my undergraduate years, I created two courses through the StuCo program and served as a TA on another course.

(TA)
15-151: Mathematical Foundations for Computer Science

Semesters: Spring 2024, Fall 2023/2022

This course focuses on the fundamental concepts in Mathematics that are of particular interest to Computer Science such as logic, sets, induction, functions, and combinatorics. These topics are used as a context in which students learn to formalize arguments using the methods of mathematical proof.

98-140: Mathemagic Card Tricks

Semesters: Spring 2022, Fall 2022

Students learn how to perform card tricks based upon deeper mathematical topics. Students must figure out how each trick works and write proofs demonstrating their understanding of the tricks. The course covers topics including base representations, shift registers, and pseudorandom number generation.

98-129: Principles of Dysfunctional Programming

Semester: Fall 2022

Students explore pessimal algorithms, which are algorithms that terminate, but take creatively long routes towards this end. Topics include computational complexity, theory of computation, programming techniques, and discrete mathematics.
