All very slow so far
Had the induction to the Mathematical Institute yesterday, although all the talks on How Oxford Undergraduate Mathematics Works weren’t terribly interesting, probably on account of already knowing full well how thanks to the long hours I put in as an undergrad here. Still, crosses must be borne, and so on.
For those who like to exercise their clicky, I will be part of the Oxford Topology Group, with Professor Ulrike Tillmann as my supervisor. I don’t know what I’ll be up to yet, but I’ll be meeting her tomorrow and hopefully get something started.
There will be much more to say as soon as I start working, I’m sure.
UPDATE: Transcript of a conversation in New College bar tonight:
Physicist 1 (who I have just been talking to), to his friend: So this guy works in the sexy part of maths.
Physicist 2: Oh Topology?
It’s official folks: my field is sexier than yours.
