Machine learning relies heavily on probabilistic optimization algorithms.
While machine learning papers are written at a staggering rate, there is much less foundational mathematical work that addresses the success of machine learning.
Since her PhD, Courtney has been at the forefront of this foundational work.

TITLE / TITRE |
Students coming from high school often arrive with specific 鈥� and mistaken 鈥� expectations of the mathematics classroom. In Rustum Choksi鈥檚 courses he emphasizes a pedagogical paradigm shift, whereby mathematics is not about memorization nor symbolic manipulations and calculations but rather a beautiful and diverse discipline which is often a means to understanding our complex world.
