Physicist at Large

Personal blog for Alex Small, a young and cranky traditionalist physics professor.

Current Reading

This blog is primarily for me to blog my responses to books that I'm reading. Sometimes I blog about other stuff too, though.

The Official Dogma of Education

I do not have time to comment on this except to say that Freddie brings some important insights in outlining the Official Dogma of Education.

About Me

Alex Small: Pomona, CA, United States; I'm an associate professor of physics at Cal Poly Pomona. My research interests are mostly in biomedical applications of optics (especially theoretical limits to superresolution, and also light scattering calculations), with some side interests in percolation theory. I am using this blog to chronicle my responses to books that I'm reading, particularly books about higher education issues. It's a way to work out issues in my mind.
