This semester I have taught
MAT 102(Introduction to Proofs) at UTM. Today was my last lecture. It has been a pleasure teaching this course and interacting with the students. This has been my first course taught as a sessional instructor, and, surprisingly it has changed quite a lot about how I view teaching (again!). Good luck to the students on the final on Saturday!I do not know yet whether I will be teaching next semester.

Student hours will resume next week, on Friday August 9th 1 pm - 4 pm. They will be held in my office, HSB 374.
Student hours are intended to be extracurricular discussions that are not revolving around lecture/assignment material. These can range from discussing extracurricular mathematics to course choice/meta-questions. Sometimes there will be a predetermined discussion topic. For next week I will prepare a small discussion on a very classical topic: conic sections.

One of the nice additions of AI is that I am constantly reminded of how do students feel when professors get a bit too deep in their mathematics:
Claude
is the symmetry group of the octonionic determinant. Nothing more exotic than that. Not exotic at all, Claude.
