Works at Caltech as of 2020.

Sean's series The Biggest Ideas in the Universe has some merit, but it's just to math-light falling a bit below the missing link between basic and advanced.

But as usual, it falls too close to popular science for Ciro's taste.

Quantum mechanics stuff at University of Hanover. Good teaching. Big respect:

Profiles:

This dude is the charicature of the evil scientist! It is so funny. Brilliant, ambitious and petty!

Not the usual bullshit you were expecting from the philosophy of Science, right?

Some notable quoters:

Nuclear physics is basically just the study of the complex outcomes of weak interaction + quantum chromodynamics.

The majority likely comes from physics:

One major application of this classification is that different boundary conditions are suitable for different types of partial differential equations as explained at: which boundary conditions lead to existence and uniqueness of a second order PDE.

I can't believe there isn't a YouTube video comparing various substances for each flammability and instability ratings, this would be a huge hit.

Oh, and if it weren't enough, mathematicians have a separate name for the damned nabla symbol : "del" instead of "nabla".

TODO why is it called "Del"? Is is because it is an inverted uppercase delta?
