About me

Hi people!, for those don't know me but have arrived here just by chance, my name is Oscar Castillo, venezuelan but now I'm student of high energy physics in the Universidad Católica de Valparaíso in Chile. Additionally I'm working at CECS in Valdivia, Chile, as a research assistant under the supervision of Jorge Zanelli.

By the way, I'm working at PUCV as teacher assistant of the graduate course on classical mechanics.

Academic Stuff

I've developed a homework for students of the course on Differential Geometry... well, here it's in PDF format or in PS format.

<|---On July 1st, we had the second exam in mathematical physics 2... Here is the solution to this. Enjoy. PDF. Of course, if you wanna know your mark, you must write me an e-mail.---> Also review the set of PROBLEMS> of my homeworks... some of them are unfinished. If you have a comment just email me.

> I've a library with an excellent selection of books on Mathematics and Physics. You can see my Book list. I'll improve it a.s.a.p. and of course U can contact me if you need one of them.

My Curriculum is here in PDF or PS format

My Favorite Quotations

  • A mathematician who is not also something of a poet will never be a complete mathematician
    KARL WEIERSTRASS.

  • The Universe is an enormous direct product of representations of symmetry groups.
    STEVEN WEINBERG.

  • God exists because arithmetic is consistent - the Devil exists because we can't prove it!
    HERMANN WEYL.

  • Symmetry, as wide or as narrow as you define its meaning, is one idea by which man through the ages has tried to comprehend and create order, beauty and perfection.
    HERMANN WEYL.

  • Besides language and music, it [mathematics] is one of the primary manifestations of the free creative power of the human mind, and it is the universal organ of the world-understanding through theoretical construction. Mathematics must therefore remain an essential element of the knowledge and abilities which we have to teach, of the culture we have to transmit, to the next generation.
    HERMANN WEYL.
