My name is Ofir David and I’m sort of a mathematician. I am interested both in the more theoretical mathematics, and in its many applications in science, and in particular in computer science. From general algorithms to cryptography, error correcting codes, computer graphics, computer vision, general machine learning and many more. In the more theoretical side, my main research interest is dynamical systems defined using interesting number theoretical operations (e.g. the digits in binary\decimal expansion, continued fractions, distribution of rational points etc.).
Other than that, I really love creating all sorts of visualizations, both in general, and in mathematical context (see for example some of my mathematical animations), and when possible, make them interactive and educational.
I have a Bachelor degree both in mathematics and computer science at the Technion – Israel institute of Israel. I did my M.Sc. and Ph.D. in Mathematics also at the Technion under the supervision of Professor Eli Aljadeff, where I focus mainly on graded algebras, polynomial identities and rationality problems of fields. During my Ph.D. I also started working on problems in the connection between number theory and dynamics (and also had a brief visit in the land of machine learning).
