Clyde Kertzer

Hello! I’m Clyde Kertzer — a recent mathematics graduate from the University of Colorado, Boulder with a focus on number theory, algebra, and cryptographic systems. I’ve conducted research published in Annals of Mathematics, built mathematical visualizations and encryption tools, and have experience tutoring advanced undergraduate topics. I am a math Teacher at TARA high school, where I teach Algebra II, Geometry, and Calculus.


An article about a paper I wrote (with Summer Haag, James Rickards and Katherine E. Stange) was published in Quanta magazine.

When I’m not doing math, I’m probably playing soccer or hockey, watching the USMNT, or playing the trombone!
