In almost every hobby, or interest field you have, it is perfectly normal to use your spare time on it. But if you are interested in math's or physics it's "nerdy" to learn more of it, and do extra homework on it. Wonder why...
maybe it has something to do with the "nerd" stereotype planted in our minds by hollywood. in movies, any kid who wants to pursue their interests in maths/physics are called a "nerd" and is portrayed as an un-cool guy who wears glasses and has pimples.
 
I'm new to this forum and I really like it.
Regarding my post before: isn't this thread about favourite math subject? So I answered "foundations".
Greetings Fabio
 
Yes We can tell your new, it says you have 2 posts. What I was asking was what exactly do you mean by foundations? You mean..axiomatic theory or arithmetic or what?
 
Mostly formal logic and axiomatic set theory. Those parts of mathematics which build up the foundations on which all the other ideas rest.

Btw. it's nice that you're able to read my number of posts. But I don't think there's any problem with me stating that I'm new to this forum. Anyway, your earlier post wasn't really helpful either, so I think it would be best if you limited the content of your statements to the necessary stuff. Thank you a lot.
