Educational Activity

I've been told that not everything in all my courses is completely easy to understand. In reading a Borges essay on Joyce's Ulysses, I came across the following quote from Lope de Vega (who is talking about Gongora). I pass it on here, without either comment or implication...

"Be what it may, I will always esteem and adore the divine genius of this Gentleman, taking from him what I understand with humility and admiring with veneration what I am unable to understand"

Of course, all research work involves a substantial educational component, for the faculty as well as for students. This page lists the more formal and organized educational activities in which I am taking part.

Graduate and Undergraduate Courses

• PS134 Global Warming: Understanding the Forecast
• Geosci232: Climate Dynamics of the Earth and Other Planets
• Geos348: Advanced radiative transfer
• Geo342: Intro to GFD.
  • PS1 solution
  • PS2 solution
  • PS3 (due Wed., Feb. 18) Solution
  • PS4 (due Monday, March 2) Note: There was an error in the statement of Problem 4.3 (the stationary Rossby wave problem). To be consistent with the boundary condition I gave, the mountain should have been proportional to sin(l y), not cos(l y) as I stated. I posted a corrected version of the problem set, but it's probably too late to help most of you. Solution
  • PS5 (due Wed., March 11) This is the last one! (Note sign error on PV,not yet corrected on the posted problem set.)
• Geosci355: Tropical circulations and climate ("Tropics 'n' Topics")
• Paris Applied and Computational Math Quarter (for Undergraduates)
• Mathematical Modelling and Dynamical Systems ("Math Methods")
• Papers relating to matters discussed by Edouard Bard during his 2007 visit
• Climate Reading Course, Spring 2008
