Functions are a foundational concept in mathematics and computer science, forming the basis for understanding transformations, mappings, and relationships between sets. In this lecture, I will introduce the fundamental properties of functions—injectivity, surjectivity, and bijectivity—and explore their significance in both theoretical and applied contexts. Emphasizing both formal definitions and intuition, I will highlight key connections that deepen understanding and make abstract concepts more accessible.

Tanvi Bajpai is a Ph.D. candidate in Computer Science at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, advised by Dr. Chandra Chekuri and Dr. Eshwar Chandrasekharan. Her research spans theory, HCI, and their intersection, where she focuses on designing optimization and evaluation metrics that incorporate human-centered considerations for algorithmic decision-making systems. She is passionate about teaching and mentorship, particularly in making theoretical concepts more intuitive and accessible to students. Drawing from her experience across both theoretical and applied domains, she emphasizes building strong foundational reasoning skills while fostering an inclusive and engaging learning environment. 

She has taught and advised students at various levels, mentoring undergraduate researchers and course assistants to help them grow both technically and pedagogically. Through her teaching, she aims to equip students with the confidence and problem-solving skills necessary to tackle complex ideas both in and beyond the classroom.
