Hi everyone. I guess I’m in the blogosphere now. I read somewhere that over a million blogs are created everyday. So I guess this is one of them. I hope to share my thoughts and frustrations on this blog in the future.
So I will begin by introducing myself. I am currently a sophomore at Swarthmore College. I recently declared a major in Mathematical Physics. In addition, I am planning on a music minor. My interests in math include Foundations, Axiomatic Set Theory, Point-Set Topology, and Geometry (Differential). My interests in physics include General Relativity, Newtonian Mechanics, Maxwell’s Eqations, and philosophy. In terms of music, my favorite genres are the Baroque and Progressive Metal.
I recently discovered a great artist, called Neal Morse. He is a prog-rock composer, and his concept album “?” (yes, its called question mark) is one of the greatest albums I have heard in a long time. It’s not prog-rock per se, but it uses alot of mannerisms of that genre without the heavy guitar riffs. I have been listening to it constantly. It’s quite catchy, but it a good way. Now it is a Chrisitian album, which turned me off from it a little bit. Some parts do get preachy. But then I remind myself that most of Bach’s wonderful choral music are also religious in theme!
