Where are our courses located?
Our classes begin with a free discussion of ideas and play of invention around a developing problem; then - once insight blossoms - we link this insight formally to axioms, aiming for elegance and clarity. While the courses are mathematically rigorous, the atmosphere is friendly and relaxed. We want our students to feel free to express their ideas, to suggest their own approaches, and to make mistakes. We work in a spirit of friendship, cooperation, and enjoyment of one another.
