Mark Galassi

Teaching math working groups this fall and winter. Kick-off Monday Oct. 30: "Visualizing algebra". In the winter the more advanced "Math for research". Please point motivated students to this! markgalassi.codeberg.page/math-science-w… mark@galassi.org (voice only) at +1-505-629-0759.

(c) Red Hat changes. Almost all tech discussions are completely missing the point. At FOSSY they won't be - they will be about important ways to think about the world of computing. Plus: Portland in the summer. 2023.fossy.us// @conservancy

I'm going to say: if you can you should go to FOSSY. Just the list of things happening in these last and next couple of days means you should go get that level of discussion. (a) twitter going full walled garden; (b) reddit disabling APIs; 2023.fossy.us// @conservancy

@doctorpoe thanks :-)

@markgalassi At UCLA is a new faculty who does just this.. Let me find her name and DM you.

Dear twitter connections, can anyone put me in touch with a researcher who works in city planning / urban design?

@chemsocial there's very little "prep ahead of time", so a couple of days before the start would be fine.

High school and very driven middle school: Research Skills Academy offered by the Institute for Computing in Research. July 10-27 virtual, info at: computinginresearch.org/research-skill…

@SusanPolgar @DanielRensch @chesscom Susan, do you have a Harvard MBA? I thought that was the only thing not allowed to become CEO of chess.com

@DanielRensch Since I could not be the CEO of @chesscom, this is the next best gig I could get 😁 Hope you will find a good one to grow the server to 1 billion users.

~ 5 year/10 million dollar contract as Head Coach and Chess Director at the University of Los Angeles ~ After successful stints as Head Coach of TTU and Webster University, winning more than all the other Collegiate Chess Programs COMBINED, I had to retire 2 years ago due to health issues. My students achieved unprecedented success: 10 consecutive years at #1 8 PanAm InterCollegiate Championships (7 consecutive) 7 consecutive Final Four Championships Multiple Olympiad Gold 2 World Championships 5 World Open Championships Over 70 National Individual and Team Championships, etc. Now that my health is improving, I hope to achieve even greater success at the University of Los Angeles. My tenure will begin on June 1, 2023. More details will be released soon.

@GMHikaru I like the "no Harvard MBAs allowed" - then I thought that on the east coast they posted that after midnight.

I was wondering when this announcement was going to drop. End of an era, but good luck pursuing your goals in chess.

Are you a researcher or scholar or technologist who might want to propose a project to high-functioning high school students? More detail at computinginresearch.org Please call me at 505-629-0759 (voice only) or email me at mark@galassi.org (ps:you can also send students our way)

@savostrowski I use LaTeX + beamer, and keep each slide in its own .tex file and \input{} each slide in the main document

@philosophygeek I agree. I'm just on a journey of re-reading Wittgenstein and am cringing somewhat -- it makes me appreciate someone who takes you on a romp *together*.

@markgalassi 💯 though Nietzsche's lack of rigor (I believe) is intentional. He's taking you along a personal journey much like Plato or Augustine or even Descartes.

When you hear "Nietzsche," what comes to mind? Curious even if you're only vaguely familiar with his genius.

On Monday, February 27, I start the "math for research" working group. Taylor series, Fourier analysis, numerical solutions to differential equations. Students who are interested, please email me at mark@galassi.org - markgalassi.codeberg.page/math-science-w… and following chapters.

(2of2) Only prerequisite: knowing how to type (typically 6th grade in the US), but it's hard work as we quickly move on. Finally: this workshop will be on US-friendly time zone hours, but I am very happy to teach Africa/Europe time zones, or Asian time zones, so let me know...

(1of2) sites.google.com/view/serious-p… Dear social media friends, I will be teaching another programming workshop on January 28+29. We are also beginning to take applications for summer 2023 internships at the Institute, so get started preparing now! Please pass this on to students.

Dear all, I will be teaching a math working group (for students) on advanced analytic geometry virtually. Kick-off meeting is Monday December 5. Email mark@galassi.org if you are interested. More info at: #id6" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">markgalassi.codeberg.page/math-science-w…

As you cook today, or as you hang out, makes sure you listen to, or sing, Alice's Restaurant. One nice version is here: youtube.com/watch?v=HNQYfS…

computinginresearch.org and start preparing! We hire students in Santa Fe, Portland (OR), and Austin, and looking at Socorro and New York City. The pipeline that prepares students for research is world-wide.

Time for students to start thinking about summer internships where you get paid to work full time on research in your area of interest. If you are (or someone you know is) in 10th, 11th, or 12th grade, please look at the Institute for Computing in Research: [link on next tweet]
