I want students to experience the beauty and joy of doing rigorous mathematics for themselves. The problem sets and books that I give students are individualized and designed to help them gradually make their own mathematical discoveries and prove theorems for themselves. Unlike many teachers, I insist that students first master the fundamentals of logic before proceeding to study mathematics in depth. Also, I feel there is great value in having students read primary sources to learn about the concepts of a particular field in mathematics. The quality of books that I use and level of mathematical rigor that my students are exposed to exceeds what I have seen in most schools. If a student is eager to push themselves so that they can reach their full mathematical potential, I look forward to working with them!
