Brief Biographical Sketch:

Hi there! I am Jophy, a MIT undergraduate student. I do a lot of mathematics and computer science back when I was in high school and when I am now in MIT. I participated in IMO and IOI as a team member too.
And no, we are not just nerds starring at problems or coding under the hood in the dark. There is a reason why mathematicians and computer scientists love their field.
Mathematics is way more than computation or arithmetic, or even IQ! I believe in understanding the beauty of mathematics, such as through visuals, puzzles, and inspiring problems. Come and learn together~

M15793: Exploring the Beauty of Mathematics in Splash 2023 (Nov. 18 - 19, 2023)
Hi there! I am Jophy. I do a lot of mathematics and computer science back when I was in high school and when I am now in MIT. I participated in IMO and IOI as a team member too. And no, we are not just starring at problems or coding under the hood in the dark. There is a reason why mathematicians and computer scientists love their field. Mathematics is way more than computation or arithmetic, or even IQ! I believe in understanding the beauty of mathematics, such as through visuals and inspiring problems. Come and learn together! We will go through some famous puzzles and paradoxes. We will have an interactive lesson filled with discussions and questions. Tedious calculation not involved! Take a look at Course Prerequisites to see if you are already comfortable with them~ If you are good at high school maths but just don't find it interesting, or if you hate it, let's see if we can love maths together!
