The View from here.

Posting classes seems to be popular now, so I might as well jump on the bandwagon.

Physics II: Electricity and Magnetism
Same prof. as Physics I. At least E&M is more interesting than classical mechanics. The best part is the E&M lab, as we get to use powerful electromagnets. (Though not "The Sterilizer," or "Big Bertha almost known as The Widow Maker."

Calculus II
Fun class! The prof. is awesome, and the material is easy.

General Chemistry II
Chemistry and I don't normally get along, but the prof. is good enough that I'll be OK. Last semester we were in a classroom that could fit 50, and there were around 40 of us. This semester they put us the the biggest classroom on campus (Bishop William's Hall, seating capacity 130), and there are maybe 25 of us. I also have 3-5 hours in the Chemistry lab on tuesdays, which is my own cross to bear.

Issues and Problems in Religion II: Radical Orthodoxy
This is probably my favorite course this semester. The Professor is incredible, and the subject is fascinating. Basically, Radical Orthodoxy is an AngloCatholic movement that challenges Postmodernism. The course is going to be a lot of work, seeing as I have two seminars to write, but it is just so much fun!

Spinoza

Lastly, I'm taking a course on Spinoza's "Ethics." Spinoza really is the philosopher for Mathematicians. He uses the geometric method to prove all of his propositions. I'm not quite convinced that this is a valid method, but I'll post on that some other time. The class is taught in "Preston room," which is this beautiful room in one of the oldest parts of the University


That's all.

Yours in Christ,
