Hi, I'm Alex

About me

Possibly my best (or possibly worst) quality is that I'm totally dissatisfied with my very own expertise.

This may be why I've revealed a certain skill for mathematics as well as physics. Just understanding is never adequate for me; I have to at least try to carefully recognise the thinking behind the maths I do, and afterwards, take my knowledge to its limitations. Profusely asking about the reason something is the way it is, perhaps to the annoyance of my lecturers, is something I'm obliged to do. I, along with many others, consider this Socratic method of knowing and training to be unbelievably beneficial in building an essential understanding of maths and physics from standard principles, and I endeavour to educate in precisely this manner.

I wish I can imbue students with my intense love of mathematics and physics or, at least, reveal the subjects as far less difficult compared to they appear. Naturally not everyone is a mathematician, and also different minds discover at different paces, nevertheless I will certainly intend to leave a long-term and beneficial impression.
