Teaching

I deliver a range of courses, and often find that one topic is enriched from understanding another. Curiosity lies at the heart of learning, so in class I strive to bring to life an anecdote from physicist I.I. Rabi, which relates that as a child he was not often asked by his parents, “What did you learn at school today?”, but instead, “Did you ask a good question today?” Check out the links below for syllabuses, formula sheets, and past exams from courses I have taught at Trent.
