Tell Me About Your Passion

I'm trying to build my strengths for developing and modelling in Spyder. I haven't come across a suitable 'Simulink' equivalent for system modelling so I'd like to look there next.

kekking hard as fuck rn xd

group theory is everywhere bro, literally everywhere

I'm doing Biological Anthropology and chose to do so because it's something I've always had more than a passing interest in both anthropology and human biology.

From the anthropology perspective I find it really interesting how much we can actually learn from other cultures if you APPROPRIATE the decent parts.

From the biology perspective I find it interesting how much of a brutal beating the body can take and still keep going.

I'm doing Physics and Philosophy

For physics I'm interested in the typical particle physics/general relativity bs

For philosophy, ethics is my favorite

wait wtf, isn't dx an infinitesimal distance on the x axis?

True, but they don't talk about how to properly formalize infinitesimal quantities. You can use nonstandard analysis or synthetic differential geometry, as I found out later.

>Explain why you chose your major!
Saw friends doing intro to microeconomics hw and thought it looked interesting. Took the class next semester and fell in love with the mathy part of it so I decided to keep going and when I started to learn about development economics I decided to make it my major.

>Whats the thing you find the most interesting in your field?
I'm really into development and urban economics, specifically relating to inequality and poverty. I'm still really into the mathy stuff too, so theoretical stuff is kind of my jam. "A Theory of the Allocation of Time" by Gary Becker was the first paper that absolutely blew my mind and is still one of my favorite pieces I've ever read.

>If you've finished college, what are you doing right now?
Finished up in May. Currently working as a research assistant for a guy who just got his PhD from my uni. Applying to Econ PhD, Master of Economics, and Master of Urban/City Planning programs for next fall. Took the GRE last year and got V:163 Q:164 AW:4.5 so I'm hoping that's good enough for the Masters programs and I'm planning on taking it again in October or November to raise my Q score a bit for PhD programs.
