End of term report

16th of December, 2006 at 5:36 pm in Mathematics and Algebraic Topology

You may have noticed, if you fixate upon such things, that there has been an awful lot of “I’m going to…” and rather less “I have…” in this record. The poroblem, I feel, can be traced back to my youth, and the fact that I knew not of what I spoke. I arrived on a rather highish horse, you see, but have been punched in the throat by the fact that this stuff is pretty hard, and pretty lengthy.

Anyhow, I have now finished my first term of this game, and couldn’t honestly say that I haven’t learnt much, because the stuff is dribbling out of the old ears. The stuff I enjoy, it seems, is all rather old fashioned (as far as that can be, in a subject that, in it’s modern incarnation is about 60 years old) and so while interesting isn’t going to be very fruitful in terms of research material.

Doesn’t bother me though: I like what I like, and it’s early days, so I’ll stick to it for a while.

I’m off to Marbella for Christmas. See you there, if that’s your thing.

Great to see you down oscar. We had a good laugh and a great final night discussion.

I still believe we all came from Aliens.

I can’t believe nobody has noticed you spelt “problem” wrong! Tut Tut. Your standards are slipping my dearest.
