white-blue-whiteOn February 24th, 2022 Russia invaded Ukraine, thus causing the largest humanitarian crisis of the 21st century. Like many democratic activists, I stand under the white-blue-white flag, which is the anti-war flag that can be seen at peace rallies in support of Ukraine and Ukrainian people around the world.

    Teaching evaluation for Anton Mosunov (written by his anonymous student in PMATH340):
    Anton is a fabulous teacher. His lectures are clear, organized, and easy to follow. He is a very knowledgeable guy and always welcomes questions and doubts. Moreover, he is always enthusiastic to tell you about cool facts in mathematics, such as Diophantine approximation and elliptic curves, where he is an expert. As a kind and generous guy, he posts his lecture videos for those who miss his class, and he makes fair exams. Still, his attendance rate is very high for an 8:30 morning class, simply because people enjoy his lectures and love him so much. As a fan of Anton, I got interested in number theory because of his class, took analytic number theory a semester later, and finally managed a URA position with Yuru on circle methods when I was still a sophomore. Arguably Anton is one of the best lecturers in this department.

    Hi Anton,
    I am currently taking Pmath340 at UW, and we are using your lectures as part of our course materials. Thanks much! 🙂
    I would like to send you an email re: the course notes, and a short technical question (really 30sec’s worth of your time), and cc’ Dan Wolczuk in the string.
    May I?
    Do you still have an active UW contact?

    Thanks in advance,
    Val
