Greetings peeps. This is my first attempt at a blog entry, so it may not read good.

I'm a student at Manchester Uni, having managed to remain in full-time education at the tender age of 24. I've spent all day trying to understand a calculation technique which was invented by Jean Leray, who was in a concentration camp at the time of invention. I think it's quite humbling that one of the most powerful techniques in mathematics was created in such circumstances, and infurating that I don't understand a word of it. Oh well.

Anyway, I believe several of Mark's readers are physicists, so they may find this website interesting: This Weeks Finds in Mathematical Physics. I needed an excuse to post a link. All part of the learning process!
