after spending an hour pestering my physics TA (who's all sorts of wonderful) about maxwell's equations, i feel like i can *sort of* grasp what those nutty physicists are babbling on about when they claim that maxwell's equations are "beautiful' and that the existence of a magnetic monopole would make them fully symmetrical and hence even more "beautiful". though personally, i'd rather spend time enjoying the sight of spring blooms in sunshine. as opposed to spending time on the happy intellectual pursuit of deriving equations.
speaking of spring blossoms - those poor things are suffering under the recent onslaught of unseasonable chill. i don't anticipate a spectacular display this year.

haha sounds like me doing maths... Heard of black scholes before? The equation is so "beautiful" (as others call it) that I can't take anymore of it...
And I'm not actually allowed to complain since I'm supposed to be a quant person and all that blah X_X.
Jiayou to both of us then.. in our pursuit of "beautiful" things.. at least, physics will be over for u after this sem, as is maths for me.

but in your line of work, you're never going to be rid of math, right? haha, i'll be done with physics, but it may come in handy. who knows? in the meantime, it's something that's good to know. :)
Bleah.. which is why I'm dead. I prefer to think that it's the teacher who sucks haha, since both Candice and Lily complain abt him as well :P
