Hello .
You are doing a great job.
You made me fall in love again with your areas of interest: physics , mathematics and economics.
I am a doctor now but my first love was mathematics , physics and economics and then literature later in college.
That’s what you have combined in your work here and you just won a fan .
I will like to know how I can keep my self abreast of these four interests while I practise my medicine.
Any books or courses recommendation while I read your newsletter.
Thank you
Interested in theoretical physics
