I can help out with things in the math/statistics vein. I can go over stuff commonly taught in schools but in a more fun way (maybe probability theory but I take requests), stuff that’s particularly relevant to LessWrong (an intuitive explanation behind Occam’s Razor), or ideas I’m interested in that are more current and rarely found in textbooks (sparse approximation, dictionary learning, diffusion maps).
I’ve thought about compiling a post or a few about “The Math They Didn’t Teach You,” as I’ve found that linear algebra courses don’t teach the most useful linear algebra techniques & algorithms, probability classes don’t teach the most useful theorems, etc. for very standard computational purposes.

ETA: I can take care of compression.
