About

Currently trying to wrap my head around Einstein's weird and wonderful world of general relativity. It is an uphill battle but one step at a (proper) time.

My background is in Mathematical Sciences where I've studied a number of different subjects such as Ordinary and Partial Differential Equations, Classical Mechanics, Special and General Relativity.

My main interest lies in the role of relativity within Navigation systems.
