Hi, I'm Jacob

About me

Perhaps my finest (or possibly worst) feature is that I'm permanently disappointed with my very own knowledge.

This could be why I have actually shown a specific skill for mathematics and physics. Simply understanding is never adequate for me; I need to at least aim to carefully recognise the reasoning behind the maths I do, and after that, take my understanding to its limits. Profusely asking why something is the way it is, perhaps to the inconvenience of my speakers, is something I'm urged to do. I, as well as lots of others, consider this Socratic technique of discovering and teaching to be extremely useful in building an essential understanding of mathematics and physics from fundamental principles, and I endeavour to enlighten in exactly this manner.

I wish I can inspire students with my extreme love of mathematics and physics or, at the minimum, expose the subjects as far less overwhelming compared to they appear. Naturally not every person is a mathematician, and various minds discover at different speeds, however I will intend to leave a long lasting and beneficial impression.
