• Some of my talks
  • Public lecture on gerrymandering at Stanford (youtube)
  • “Counting and growth” lectures at IAS (videos: Part 1 is missing! Part 2 Part 3 Part 4)
  • “The curve complex and its relatives” (video), an expository lecture targeted for advanced graduate students from August 2007.
• Work with teachers
  • Educator Workshops through MGGG
  • Work with pre-service teachers at UC Davis and U Michigan
  • Work with in-service teachers at UChicago and Tufts
• Summer math programs you might want to visit
  • I’m a huge fan of Canada/USA Mathcamp for high school students, where I used to visit and teach every summer before I started running my own summer programs more regularly. It has spun off the truly excellent Bridge to Enter Advanced Mathematics program, which is focused on cultivating talent in younger kids in New York and L.A. These programs are really worthy of your support!
• Super old teaching evals, for some reason
  • Archived teaching evaluation pages from the University of Chicago (Topics / Calc I / Calc II)
