I'm Alex Barkas, a second-year student specializing in Applied Mathematics and Mechanical Engineering.

I grew up in Toronto playing sports and focusing on math and science-based subjects. I've always loved exploring new topics and understanding how things work.

My goal in these tutorials is to use my experience to help you guys not only understand the material but to really grasp how these fundamental principles work and apply them.

When I took these courses in first year, I found the supplementary YouTube videos on this page were incredibly helpful for reinforcing the concepts and seeing them explained visually. I encourage you to use them too!
