Summer, 2009: As usual, I teach multivariable summer school this summer. I ran the third time the charles river run.
Spring, 2009: I teach linear algebra and applications this semester. Here are some notes from a Mathtable talk: treasure hunting perfect Euler bricks. This semester, we continue a HCRP project in elementary differential geometry and focus on caustics as well as continue to work with Jose on computer vision. Here is problem which killed a few spring semester hours. And here are some technology in the classroom demos for example with now with Java source from 2002 applets. Check out 3430 mathematicians on a 360 degree wall.
Fall, 2008: Taught multivariable calculus in the fall semester. Besides helping out Otto Bretscher a bit for the solution manual of his new edition, the beginning of the semester was also used to finalize with John Lesieutre a project on Dirichlet series with almost periodic coefficients of the summer. John had been working with me as a PRISE fellow on this exciting project during the summer. In the second half of the semester, I started with Michael Teodorescu a beautiful HCRP project in elementary differential geometry. Here is the project page. We spent the last days of the year on Cape Ann.
