Welcome

In this course, you will learn the most powerful analytical tools created by human's mind, and to think about problems from a whole new angle. I hope you have much fun and make friends in this class.

What's where?

The first place you should check when you have a question is [Canvas].

To discuss specific technical questions about course materials or homework, consider [Piazza], [MLC], or coming to office hours (see the left for time and location).

Contact the Instructor

Please talk to me after lecture, in office hours, or send me an email to set up an appointment. If you need to talk to someone else, such as having complaints about the lectures, please feel free to contact the instructor-in-charge, Dr. Elyse Yeager (elyse@math.ubc.ca).
