Teaching

Courses
Lecture notes etc. (Please use freely.)
- Lecture notes on Morse homology (with an eye towards Floer theory and pseudoholomorphic curves), Fall 2002 (postscript, 63 pages). Despite the mistakes in these notes, some people have found them useful as an introduction, so I will keep them up here while hoping to revise them sometime.
- A very basic introduction to mathematical proofs (pdf, 27 pages). These notes are rather ancient, but maybe still helpful.
- Slides for a public lecture on the mathematics of Rubik's cube. (The actual lecture did not cover all of the slides.)
