This is my notebook for physics stuff.
I earned by BS in Physics from the University of Washington in 2000. Although I haven't been able to keep up my math, I have been following the general news in the Physics community. As of 2012, I've decided to get serious about learning the math and theories at a graduate level, even though I am not pursuing my MS or PhD. Maybe if I make a million dollars that will be the first thing I do.
My day job is software development. I love doing it more than I love doing physics. Hopefully, one day I'll find a way to marry the two in a conducive way so I can get the best of both worlds. In that hope, I spend a little more attention than I should to computational physics, preferably in Python.

Topics
- Basic Math: By basic, I mean everything you should learn before you take the introductory course to "real" physics, namely, everything up to an including basic calculus.
- On Math: These are some of my thoughts on math, from my perspective as a physicist.
- [[
- Basic Physics: Here are some of the topics you'd expect a first or second-year physics undergrad student to learn, for example: Newtonian Mechanics, Basic Thermodynamics, special relativity, etc...
- Advanced Physics: Here are some of the topics you'd expect a third or fourth-year physics undergrad to learn.
- Graduate Physics: Here are some of the topics you'd expect a masters student to know.
