For quite a while now I've wanted to start a small blog/teaching platform where I try to give some intuition for various concepts in math, so that's what most of the website will be. To start, a little about myself. I'm currently doing a master's of science in mathematics at Simon Fraser University researching integer solutions to equations \(1^k+2^k+\cdots+x^k=y^n\) under Imin Chen and Stephen Choi, and did my bachelors of mathematics at the University of Waterloo where I majored in Pure Mathematics/Teaching, and minored in computer science and psychology. I also completed a diploma in Chinese language, 可是我的中文说得不太好。 I also go on classroom visits with Veselin Jungic through the Math Catcher program at SFU, where we do math workshops with classes of any age.
I'm also a part time high school maths and computer science teacher and I've designed asychronus courses for the school that I work at. That being said, I don't plan to cover any high school level maths here, although my goal is for most of the content that I make to be approachable for students in grade 11 or 12. I also provide online maht tutoring for students in grade 8 through second year university.
When I'm not studying or teaching, I love hiking, so I've also started a page for the hikes that I've been on.
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me at james_houle@sfu.ca.
