Notes on Algebra

From 2022-2024 I have been the instructor of the Algebra SEP (Summer Enhancement Program) at UW—Madison. You can read more about the SEP here. In Summer 2024, as part of my SEP materials, I wrote a series of expository notes on various topics in graduate-level algebra. The notes are not intended to be read front-to-back, but rather with the intention that if the reader is facing an unfamiliar topic for the first time (say, tensor products), they can navigate to that section and find a short, conversational introduction, along with example problems, many of which are drawn from or oriented towards problems that have appeared on past Algebra Qualifying Exams at UW.

• Basic Linear Algebra
• Advanced Linear Algebra
• Ring Theory 1
• Ring Theory 2
• Module Theory 1
• Module Theory 2
• Module Theory 3
• Group Theory 1
• Group Theory 2: Group Actions
• Group Theory 3
• Fields and Galois Theory

Short expositions

I have written several short expositions of a more recreational nature:

• A bit about why e is transcendental
• My reconstruction of how Galois might have thought about the Galois theory of cubic extensions
• A short note about Inclusion-Exclusion which I wrote for my own reference
• Always Use Pascal: a lesson about binomial coefficients and thinking mathematically. I wrote this in undergrad, and it is aimed towards undergraduates taking discrete math or combinatorics classes.

Blog

I have a math blog for more casual math writing. You can find it here.

Article in The Synapse

In 2017, I wrote an article about information theory and Reddit for The Synapse, an intercollegiate science magazine primarily organized by students at Oberlin College. You can read my article here.

Oberlin Review

In undergrad, I was a staff writer for my college newspaper, The Oberlin Review, covering arts events on campus, especially things related to classical music. You can read my old articles here and here.
