Current teaching

MATH5835M Statistical Computing

In 2024–25, Semester 1, I am the module leader for MATH5835M Statistical Computing. The main module webpage is here.

OMAT5203M Statistical Computing

I am designing the module OMAT5203M Statistical Computing for the online programme MSc Data Science (Statistics), which runs on the Coursera platform. It will run for the first time in early 2025.

MATH5825M Independent Learning and Skills Project

In 2024–25, Semester 2, I am the module leader for MATH5825M Independent Learning and Skills Project. Material for this module is on Minerva.

Other things

  • MATH2900 Maths at Work: I advise a project on “Statistics in the media”.
  • MATH3001 Project in Mathematics: I advise a project on “Data compression”
  • MATH5971M/MATH5872M Dissertation in Statisitcs / Data Science and Analytics: I advise various projects, including “Statistics, politics, law, and gerrymandering”, “Pooled testing for Covid-19”, and “MRP: Multilevel regression with post-stratification”.

Past teaching

MATH1710 Probability & Statistics I

From 2021–22 to 2023–24, I lectured the module MATH1710 Probability and Statistics I. The main website for this module was here. This material is similar, but not identical, to how the first half of the current MATH1700 Probability and Statistics is taught.

MATH2750 Introduction to Markov Processes

From 2018-19 to 2020-21, I lectured the module MATH2750 Introduction to Markov Processes. The main website for this module was here. This site very closely, but not quite perfectly, represents the module as it is currently taught.

MATH3015 History of Mathematics

In 2019-20, I lectured one third of MATH3015 History of Mathematics, on History of Statistics, with Dr Phil Walker and Dr Nicola Gambino. Some material is available here. I’m not sure how closely this represents the module as it is currently taught.

MA40042 Measure Theory and Integration (Bath)

In 2016-17 at the University of Bath, I lectured one half of MA40042 Measure Theory and Integration, on Measure Theory, with Dr Matt Roberts. Some material is available here. I don’t know if or in what form this module still exists.

MATH30002/MATHM0009 Topics in Discrete Mathematics (Bristol)

In 2013-14 at the University of Bristol, I lectured one third of of MATH30002/MATHM0009 Topics in Discrete Mathematics, on Introduction to Graph Theory, with Dr Jonathan Bober and Dr Karen Gunderson. Some material is available here. If this module still exists then it now covers entirely different topics.

R Markdown

I have some notes on using R Markdown and Bookdown. The intended audience is people (particularly people in the School of Mathematics at the University of Leeds) wanting to write accessible online lecture notes. It’s somewhat out of date.
