This semester I'm teaching 2 classes:
Mathematics: An Exploration- a course for non-technical majors covering various fun topics of my choosing. This class assumes no background, and involves essentially no calculations, formulas, equations, etc. The topics are: Voting, Gerrymandering, and Graph Theory. It's fun!
Explorations class playlist: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLqObMWX4M-If62VzwYaqrzYylGLqnHj6t
Theory of Computation- a course for undergrad math and computing majors about the mathematics of computation. Finite automata, regular expressions, formal grammars, Turing machines, computable functions, etc.
Theory of Computation playlist: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLqObMWX4M-IfnvzJtNzlnLMyYLy0G9cwi
Point Set Topology- a first course in topology for undergrad math majors. Topological spaces, continuous functions, connected sets, compact sets, etc.
