I am a lecturer in Political Science and Computer Science at Yale University. My office is Rosenkranz 326. You can reach me at andrew.bridy@yale.edu.

In Spring 2022 I am teaching CPSC 202, Mathematical Tools for Computer Science. See Canvas for more information.

I am a mathematician working in number theory, arithmetic dynamics, and automata theory. Here is my CV. Below is a list of my publications.
