I am interested in Number Theory, Combinatorics and Complex Analysis

In the last few years, my teaching load included the following courses: 1) Analisi Matematica 2 - CdL Ing. Meccanica e Ing. Energetica- Student evaluations: 2022-23, 2023-24. 2) Analisi Matematica - CdL Informatica- Student evaluations: 2023-24. 3) Analisi Matematica 2 - CdL Matematica - Student evaluations: 2015-16, 2016-17, 2017-18. I had the chance to give a few divulgative talks about Combinatorics for high school students (in italian): lecture 1, lecture 2, lecture 3, lecture 4. See HERE for the whole project. I have a YouTube channel which offers a growing collection of videos about mathematical analysis (in italian). |
I am a big fan of the American Mathematical Monthly's Problem Section. Take a look at this page. Here are my contributions to The On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences. I also like to "waste" my time on earning reputation points (and learning new things) on math.stackexchange ![]() |
