I took his Introduction to Cryptography class when he was a visiting professor at Columbia. Absolute master of an old-school chalkboard lecturer. They don't make them like that any more.
- medina 6mo agoHugely engaging, the margins of my notebook had many of his quips… there was an archive online somewhere. e.g., x minus x is zero, even for Euler, so therefore… Found on Archive, https://web.archive.org/web/20210509160248/http://www.eecs.harvard.edu/~cat/rabinisms.html https://web.archive.org/web/20210509160248/http://www.eecs.h...
- arbuge 6mo agoI know him from Harvard and came here to say pretty much the same thing. RIP.

- ignoramous 6mo agoAny of his "chalkboard" lectures (preferably in English) in open archives of these universities? YouTube searches only bring up Prof Rabin's lectures aided by slides and presentation (ex: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thK_qJqx5mo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thK_qJqx5mo at Tel Aviv Uni / https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCX0Ut0hcWw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCX0Ut0hcWw at Harvard).
- YZF 6mo agoThere's a chalkboard here (used ~44:50): Cryptography and Preventing Collusion in Second Price (Vickery) Auctions - Michael Rabin https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4cmCBVrVQqc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4cmCBVrVQqc No chalkboard but more lectures https://youtu.be/nbePExzSTQ0?si=KkTbwfwj5rMtQUhD&t=681 https://youtu.be/nbePExzSTQ0?si=KkTbwfwj5rMtQUhD&t=681 - פלאי תורת ההצפנות ויישומיה לתהליכים פיננסיים (The wonders of cryptography and financial applications) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_LG5Hcc8mM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_LG5Hcc8mM - Lecture 7 - Zero Knowledge Proofs and Applications Michael Rabin For those interested in searching for more here's a Hebrew search string you can use: "פרופסור מיכאל רבין הרצאה" interesting enough Google and YT search yield results in English and Hebrew but possibly different ones than just searching in English. EDIT: One more: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30wkb46BE1k https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30wkb46BE1k
