Teach, Learn, Share

I was a teaching assistant at QFT course in Hannover and have taught a small course in nonlinear dynamics at Bogolubov Institute for Theoretical Physics (we have a nice tradition of "students-to- students" courses). Maybe you can learn from me a bit =).

I want to learn a lot!

My German is schlecht at the moment, but I am looking forward to improve it.
