Mike Vanier's home page

I'm Mike Vanier and this is my home page. I'm a computer scientist, computational neuroscientist and a hacker.

I work in the computer science department at Caltech, where I am both a Lecturer in Computer Science and an "Instructor". In my capacity as lecturer, I teach the following courses:

• CS 1 (Introduction to Computer Programming)
• CS 4 (Fundamentals of Computer Programming)
• CS 11 (Computer Language Shop)
• CS 101 (Functional Programming)

In my capacity as instructor, I help Caltechers (undergrads, grad students, and others in the Caltech community) with their computer-related course work, research projects, and personal projects.

I also co-teach (with Donnie Pinkston) the Summer Caltech LEAD course in Computer Science for high school students.

Choose from the following action-packed list:

• Science

• Hacking

• Personal

• My blog on programming-related topics.
