Math + music = a masterclass in teaching? 🎼📐

For Prof. Frederick FONG, teaching is a lot like playing a duet. He uses Franck’s Sonata for violin and piano to show that education is a true partnership. The teacher takes the lead at first, but eventually steps back so the student can explore and take the stage.

At HKUST, this kind of harmonious mentorship is what shapes our world-class education. It’s exactly why Prof. Fong was honored with the Michael G. Gale Medal for Distinguished Teaching in 2024.

Watch how he brings the rhythm of music into the world of math!
