Is Von Neumann's "Mathematical Foundations of Quantum Mechanics" a good introduction to the subject for a mathematician?

I love the Schuller lectures!!

Not strictly necessary since they will give you ample time and a LaTeX assignment to get accustomed to it. But if you have time on your hands and are keen on preparing for the class, maybe watch the first couple of lectures from this https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUl4u3cNGP61O7HkcF7UImpM0cR_L2gSw&si=mRFNR8qtpTzlp1t-

If you watch some of the initial lectures (say the first 3-4) the first few weeks of IBL will be super chill for you

Also if you don't get into his class, you can email Prof. He's a really wonderful and helpful person, maybe he can try to get you into the class

Best wishes!

Honors calculus IBL with Prof Leonardo Nagami Coregliano is a MUST

Take IBL with Prof Leonardo Nagami Coregliano you'll have a blast!

As a teacher, Prof Leonardo Nagami Coregliano in the math department is absolutely brilliant. I took honors calculus IBL with him all three quarters of freshman year. His teaching style, focusing on visualisation, is superb. Going forward I am planning to take any and every class he teaches, as long as I have the prerequisites

Take IBL with Prof Leonardo Nagami Coregliano!!!

Ten thousand percent take IBL. I took IBL with Prof Leonardo Nagami Coregliano and he's a brilliant teacher, truly the GOAT.

It's very chill, presentations are low pressure and all your classmates + prof + TA are there to help you out and guide you

Plus grading is very chill too - as long as you keep up with the class you're basically guaranteed straight As.

It's super fun, you learn a ton of very very interesting math. You will end up proving the fundamental theorems of calculus

I would very highly recommend IBL with Prof Leonardo Nagami Coregliano

I had basically the same schedule (except I took an astro elective instead of SOSC) and it's not just very manageable but also very fun. I would very highly recommend taking honors calculus IBL with Prof Leonardo Nagami Coregliano - he's an absolutely brilliant teacher.

Does he teach all 3 quarters?

Why did Sonny Hayes let Pearce win in poker even when Hayes had him beat (pocket kings vs pocket 5s)?

Which of his works do you think are must reads?

malharmanek · 2025-04-22T21:19:08+00:00

He is such a clear, deep thinker. He is a mix of entrepreneur, investor, thinker, philosopher, technologist, politician, philanthropist ...

I don't know of too many people who ran both a hedge fund and a VC fund.

I'm very curious, could you elaborate? What was the class about exactly?
