Introduction

I'm Sarah, a Peninsula College student majoring in Math and Physics. Because of the opportunity to work on this project, I put off transferring to UW. The opportunity to help build a nuclear reactor was too good to pass up, so I had to stay. I’ve always been drawn to the ideas of modern physics, but always thought they were about three years of mechanics lectures away. The opportunity to learn and apply some modern physics as an undergraduate is exciting. I expect learning this stuff to hurt, but that’s part of the fun of math and physics. When it finally makes sense, it’s great. I am looking forward to an interesting and challenging year.
