Christophe Smet

Dr. Christophe Smet serves as a distinguished lecturer at TU Delft, specializing in teaching bachelor-level courses in Probability Theory, Statistics, Calculus, and Linear Algebra. He has made significant contributions to mathematics education, notably leading the development of an extensive collection of 535 open-access Linear Algebra exercises that benefit engineering students across multiple disciplines. His academic journey includes teaching experiences at the universities of Leuven and Antwerp, with his doctoral research focused on Classical Analysis, particularly investigating techniques for proving the irrationality of constants. While his initial research centered on orthogonal polynomials and Painlevé equations, his interests have evolved to encompass both particle physics and astrophysics. At TU Delft, he actively participates in creating innovative educational content, including parameterized exercises that allow students to practice with varying values, and has been instrumental in developing comprehensive probability theory courses that cover everything from basic concepts to advanced applications in engineering
