Hi guys, I'm a university student finishing up my Bachelor of science major in math and minor in physics. Some of my favorite lectures are when we arrive at physical results by methods of pure math. I really enjoy the rigor and organization of the mathematical language and the physical beauty and clarity of physical results. My main areas of interest in study are relativity, quantum mechanics, differential geometry, and one day hopefully I will get to take a lecture on string theory. I'm also currently considering grad school at the end of my degree, but it is a toss up between MSc in Physics, Math, or Mathematical Physics. Anyways, that's a little bit about me.
