I couldn't decide what to teach, so I'll let you guys decide. Ask me what you'd like to learn, and hopefully I'll have good answers. I was a math and CS major, and I currently work as a software engineer on anti-spam/security.

An introduction and overview of some common (and maybe not so common) inequalities from math competitions. We'll start from basics such as the trivial inequality and AM-GM and move towards more complicated ones up to Muirhead and Karamata (if time permits).

There are 47% of Splash students who won't take this class no matter what. All right, there are 47% who are dependent on being taught, who believe that they are victims, who believe that Splash has a responsibility to teach them everything, that they are entitled to instruction on every individual thing. That that's an entitlement. And that Splash should give it to them. And they won't take this class no matter what. These are students who pay no information tax. 47% of Splash students pay no information tax. And so our job is not to worry about those students- we'll never convince them to take personal responsibility and care about their lives. Our job is to teach you, the rugged individualists, all about creating information. In this class, you'll pull yourself up by your mental bootstraps and become experts at info-genesis. And once you finish this class, you will make all other Splash students intellectually wealthier as your knowledge and competency trickle down. Sign up for this class, because you are information creators, and are more valuable than the fact-poor who rely on Splash handouts to get by.
