Brief Biographical Sketch:

Hi!
My name is Daniel O'Malley, and I'm a 4th year Civil Engineering student here at UCLA. I love my subject, but when I'm not studying you'll find me rock climbing, goofing off, and playing videogames (mainly Genshin Impact and Minecraft). I always enjoyed teaching and volunteering, so I'm excited to work with Splash. I get to nerd out over my favorite topics, and Splash will find the captive audience for me! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

M304: Genshin Impact Damage Optimization — Using math in the “real” world in Splash Spring 2024 (Apr. 20, 2024)
“When will we use this in the real world?” We’ve all heard this phrase too many times, it’s inevitable! No one cares about how many watermelons Sally has left, or the beard area under a sinusoidally shaped mustache. Today, we’ll use calculus to do something that really matters . . . winning videogames. If you’re interested in videogames, math, or both be sure to come by and see how we actually use math in the “real” world. • Knowledge of Genshin Impact is not required to enjoy this class
