We have now reached the second half of Ramadhan and fatigue may have set it for some. But this is no excuse for slacking in ibadah even when I have episodes of bad back.
I have also just found out that yesterday (15 March) was declared the International Day to Combat Islamophobia. It coincided with the day of Christchurch mass shooting at Al Noor Mosque and Linwood Islamic Centre where 51 people were killed and 89 others were injured. With all the many issues arising, I posted the wikipedia link on my FB mainly as a reminder to myself (not knowing that before). I guess some (including closet islamophobes) did not like it. I remember seeing this pic below sometime back, cautioning readers not to let this be widespread. Well, there is no compulsion in religion. Most of the 'revert' videos I saw, tend to be mostly self-realization (not by the sword as some would suggest), after studying the religion.
Today, I uploaded another post over my technical blog on complex numbers and complex analysis. I know that I first learned about complex numbers from Mr. Hilditch, when I was in Daws Road High School for matriculation (and not before that). The one that I can't really remember is when did I first learn about complex analysis. I do remember struggling a bit with complex integration in my third year BSc course Classical Field Theory, taught by Peter Szekeres.
Also, during Part III in the course of Quantum Many Body Physics taught by Peter Landshoff, where I really felt I was at a disadvantage not learning it properly before.
Learned complex analysis more properly when I was asked to teach Mathematical Physics I at XMUM two years ago. Even then, I have not quite mastered some of the advanced topics. At the time, I didn't think we had a comprehensive book that covers all the syllabus. So, I felt I could have done the teaching better if I had time preparing my own notes. This reminds me I should go back and read the book below properly. Never got to use it for the course.
