Penn Summer Prep Program

In the summer of 2017 I designed and taught two iterations of a two-week long module called Explorations in Mathematical Inquiry through an intensive program for high school students called Penn Summer Prep Program. The course was centered around a number of mini-mathematical research sandbox problems designed for students to make significant investigative progress in groups over the span of a few hours each. The module culminated in an group-based open-ended research presentation on a modern mathematical topic. Teaching materials: Course materials - Syllabus, Intro Survey, LaTeX Example, Beamer Example, First Day Presentation; Assignments - ArXiv Search, Avoiding Symbology, Group Presentation, Intro to TeX/Beamer, Problem Writeup, and an introduction to Theorems and Proofs. My presentation on the final day on a topic of interest to the class.

Miscellaneous

In the summer of 2016 I co-led and wrote problem sets with partial solutions for an undergraduate reading group following Nakahara's Geometry, Topology, and Physics. I owe some amount of material to Nakahara as well as various university courses with online materials, which I have credited liberally where appropriate. I can't guarantee that all problems and solutions are error-free but can attest to at least about 95% accuracy overall. (Problem Set 1 Problem Set 2 Problem Set 3 Problem Set 4 Problem Set 5 Problem Set 6)

MIT Educational Studies Program

During my undergraduate years at MIT I taught a number of hour-long seminars and one full-year course through the Spark, Splash, HSSP, and Delve programs run by the student-led Educational Studies Program (ESP). Below I have included a list of courses and some teaching materials from these classes:

AP Physics C (Textbook Chapter 1, Chapter 2, Problem Sets coming soon)

Primes and the Riemann Zeta Function (Notes)

The Age of the Universe (notes coming eventually)

Censoring a Naked Black Hole (notes coming eventually)

Einstein's Prediction of the Laser (notes coming eventually)
