Domenico Mergoni's Teaching

Notes

Hey, I'm Domenico, welcome to MA102/MA103, and welcome to LSE.

I strongly suggest every student to read the Guide to Common Mistakes. Here, we go through the most common mistakes done in this course. Many of the details we do not have the time to go through during classes are examined here. I am more than happy to hear feedback, and I am open to suggestions about additional material.

Also, you can try to give a look at the Notes for this course. These notes are not complete, and they need to be integrated with what is said in the classes.

If you access the survey, please complete it: it was created with a free tool, and it can be only activated 40 times.

Remarks

Some placeholder content for the collapse component. This panel is hidden by default but revealed when the user activates the relevant trigger.

1. Office hours for MT2021 are Thursdays between 11:30 and 12:30 in COL 3.05. Email me if you are self-isolating but still want to come to the office hour.
2. Assignments are due Mondays at 17:00.
3. Maths is better done in person than via email.
4. Remember: I am not a a Doctor, nor a PhD, not I have been knited a Sir. In your emails, you should refer to me as "Domenico" or (if really you cannot avoid being formal) Mr. Mergoni.

There is some wonderful material that you can freely find online on YouTube. Some of my favourite (learning) channels are:
1. MIT OpenCourseWare,
2. Stanford,
3. Harvard.
You might need to surf a while to find a course that interests you, but the quality of the material is really impressive, as much as the variety of the content.

I'd like to remind to foreign students that in the UK the access to many file-sharing websites dedicated to the spread of academics journals and scientific books, such as LibGen, Sci-hub (of which there exists also the Telegram bot: @scihubot), is restricted and illegal. Among these restrictions, the fact that it is not possible to access these websites from most common browser (with the exception perhaps of Opera on VPN mode). The access to this almost infinite array of free resources, many of which not available anymore in other formats, is therefore not suggested.
