Personal handouts written, and some stuff. If you find a typo, please contact me.


Competition Math

  • Intermediate Counting (New!)

    Intermediate counting on AMC to low-AIME level. Includes complementary counting, PIE, circular permutations, and stars and bars.

  • Sequences

    Sequences on AMC to AIME level. Includes basic sequences, telescoping and recursions.

  • Coordinate Geometry

    Coordinate bashing on AMC to AIME level.

  • Systems of Equations

    Techniques to solve complicated (mostly nonlinear) systems of equations.

  • Complex Numbers

    Complex numbers on AIME level. Includes roots of unity and relationships to trigonometry.

  • Techniques for the AIME

    Useful techniques of bashing and guessing for the AIME.

Solution Writeups

Other Stuffs

  • Quadratic Excess Theorem

    Theorem stating if p is a 3 mod 4 prime, then more quadratic residues lie on the interval (0,p/2) than on the interval (p/2,p). There are two separate slides as I presented this in two different talks.

  • Compact Sets

    The open cover definition for compact sets, which is unnecessary for the real line but used in general metric spaces. Written in the course Analysis on the Real Line (TAMU MATH 409) taken in spring 2025.

  • Dirichlet's Theorem on Arithmetic Progressions

    Theorem that there are infinitely many primes in any arithmetic progressions if the first term and the common difference is relatively prime. A paper written in the course Foundations of Mathematics (TAMU MATH 300) taken in fall 2024. Uses basic analytic number theory.

  • Numerical Solutions to Laplace's Equation

    Approximating the solution to the Laplace’s equation. Presentation in the course Applied Mathematics Project taken in Korean Minjok Leadership Academy, fall 2023.

  • Laplace Transforms

    Laplace transforms for ODEs, covers all topics covered in elementary engineering mathematics.
