Another week has passed, already 2 since the beginning of the term…

And so I’ve been to Cambridge yesterday, where the Centre for Analysis (CCA) held its Open Day. It’s a new PhD program –the first batch of students will be admited in October 2010– which will be focused exactly on the subjects I like, i.e. PDEs and computational analysis. The guys in charge of this thing seem great, with lots of ideas!
The place looks like this:

The odd buildings, although they look like the ones used for malting barley, are supposed to produce ideas, not whisky… but you never know.
Oh… and as the building on the right is burried in the ground, these facilities are burried in the outskirts of Cambridge, so I walk/ran/swam in search for it, for about 40 minutes, under the (not that light) rain.

Today I’ve been around Greenwich, which (uh) is a pretty nice place, only a couple of kilometers from the City, and it is completely different. Every thing is large, but flat, unpacked, breathable and quiet. There’s a nice maritime museum there, with a huge propeller spinning slowly overhead somewhere. The observatory is on a small hill and offers a nice view of the City.

And finally, things are getting a little better on the geeky side:
