Undergraduate in theoretical physics and applied mathematics, 4th year.
This account is not named after the place Maschen in Germany, Harburg: it was coincidence to combine "Machine" into a "name-like" term.

Background
Generally, I like logic, symmetry, duality, and self-similarity underlying fundamental principles of any form of knowledge, although also like randomness, chaos, irregularity and non-linearity also, because nature isn't "perfect" and regular.
Primary academic interests are in general formalisms and/or fundamentals, mainly in (with much exposure to the literature, but no solid expertise):
- Fundamental physics
including:
- analytical mechanics, statistical mechanics
- quantum mechanics, quantum statistical mechanics
- special relativity
- classical field theory, quantum field theory, gauge theory, general relativity
- relativistic quantum mechanics, relativistic quantum field theory
including:
Template:Multicol-end Template:Multicol
to an extent, including:
- applying set theory and group theory
- vector calculus, complex analysis, several complex variables
- exterior algebra, differential forms, differential geometry
- Clifford algebra, geometric algebra, spacetime algebra
- History
The history of mathematics and history of physics make interesting and worthwhile reading too (filtering through the biases).
The really interesting subjects occur when ordinary conceptions, say of space and time, seem counter-intuitive, and how generalizations or reformulations can be made, including:
- Mathematics:
- non-Euclidean geometry
- fractal geometry, fractal spacetime
- fractional calculus, fractional differential forms
- Applications:
There are a surprising number of applications of taking nth-order derivatives of functions where n is a real number and not just a natural number, and most real objects have fractal dimensions that can be transcendental numbers and not just natural numbers. Compare these to how dull things like real analysis and Euclidean geometry are.
