Teaching

The important stuff

This year I’m offering two final-year projects. You can find the project descriptions here.

My office hours this term are Fridays from 2 until 3pm. You can reach me by email at any time, or come to MCS3060 with questions.

Teaching philosophy

I’m still working on my teaching philosophy, but Federico Ardila’s axioms for diversity, Francis Su’s thoughts on grace in teaching, and Eugenia Cheng’s manifesto on inclusivity, as well as her book x+y, are a really good place to start.

Lectures

Mathematical Finance

I’ve taught the Michaelmas term of Math Finance in 2022-23, 2023-24, and 2024-25.

If you’re thinking about taking Mathematical Finance, you might find it helpful to look through this document on “prerequisite knowledge” for the course that I give out in the first weeks of term.

Single Maths B

I taught the Probability part of SMB in 2021-22 and 2022-23, and all of Epiphany term in 2023-24. I’ll be teaching it again in 2025-26.
