💍 These lecture materials cover core principles of wave optics – from Maxwell’s equations and laser resonators to spectrometers and interferometers.
Well suited for university-level physics teaching and in-depth study.

Great. Took a 7:15 train to get to the office on time so I’d have some time to re-read my notes and set up my laptop etc before teaching a lecture at 8:45, but because of a “power failure” there are no trains between The Hague and Delft, so now I’m sardined into a delayed street, and will, in a best-case scenario, run sweatily into the lecture hall at 8:45 sharp 😩

At least there is a streetcar, I guess.

My student walked into my office and stared at the open copies of Russell & Norvig and Kleinberg & Tardos on my desk, with a look of shock and horror on their face, and then went: Do you have time to read all of that‽

I mean... given the notes scribbled in the margins and the bookmarks sticking out of my books, I can hardly deny that I've read at least parts of them in quite some detail. If I admit that, however, my students are no longer going to buy the "sorry I don't have time for an extra meeting" line...

Anybody have a good comeback for me for the next time this happens? This time I just went with "er... that's kind of the idea of studying... that you read your textbooks..." 🤦‍♀️

I built my wife a tool to survive her PhD and thought other researchers might want it too. Zotero's essential for citations, but she was struggling to know what to read next versus what she'd already read.

Paperstack is basically Goodreads for academic papers. Import from Zotero, sort by stack and tag, achieve calm.
