Teaching

“La natura è scritta in lingua matematica”
(The book of nature is written in the language of mathematics.)
- Galileo Galilei (Il Saggiatore or The Assayer, 1623)

My pedagogical philosophy is centered on Galileo's profound insight. My experiences have shown that students' difficulties often stem from three identifiable gaps: an insufficient fluency in mathematics (as the language of physics), a limited awareness of its historical context (as the narrative of discovery), and a disconnect between abstract equations and their intuitive meaning (as the comprehension of the story). Consequently, my primary aim for teaching physics is to bridge these gaps of theoretical aspects while experiencing experimental evidences. My pedagogy is thus focused not on the mastery of rote calculation, but on cultivating a mathematical fluency for science and the ability to excavate scientific insights toward a good command of scientific reasoning with the math.
