About the Instructor

I’m David Kirby, I’m the founder, primary instructor, and currently the only employee at Sigma Te.

I’ve been teaching math classes at Santa Fe since 2017, calculus is fun but I’ve studied and practiced a lot more interesting things than our current academic system is equipped to handle. Sigma Te is an effort to share some of these wisdom teachings in an integral and systematized format accessible to the 2026 college zoomer.
