I think my position on 'foundations' somewhat changed: In many areas, the structures and the mathematics comes first, and later we try to construct axioms so that the theorems we need stay true. This of course is only about the relationship of most mathematics with set theory and mathematical logic. These subjects are worthwhile pursuing for many other reasons.
I have developed an interest in applied mathematics of all kinds, especially in the area of evolutionary dynamics, due to my class with Prof. Martin Nowak.
Since the purpose of this blog is not to report on the latest development of the week but to keep a diary of my long-retarded development in understanding mathematics, I won't be posting papers and such unless they directly relate to the above-mentioned goal.

Little Progress
It has been quite a while, maybe a whole year since my last post. I have made no progress in the areas I have mentioned in my first post.
