Aaron Manning
Mathematics and Computer Science Graduate Student

I'm Aaron, a mathematics and computer science student at UNSW, casual teacher, and former software developer. This website is where you will find projects I have worked on, articles I have written, and links to other places you can find me on the internet. Most of my work online is related to mathematics from the perspective of teaching, learning and research. Currently I am spending most of my time writing a textbook for the HSC Mathematics Extension 2 course in NSW, and building a note taking app.
