My Imaginary Numbers

I am Frank Witte, principal teaching fellow in the Department of Economics of University College London. I work there since 2010. On this site I collect links to my teaching & research interests as well as posts I write about stuff I do, or simply opinions about current, or not so current, matters. My ORCID-record is here. You can follow me on twitter @Alarcos.

The main post-series of this blog that might interest you are:

• Back of the Envelope: Little calculations without much complexity showing interesting things about our world you can discover on your own;
• Opinions: Short opinions, long opinions, reasonable ones and unreasonable ones;
• Stuff I Should Know: things that I write about that I should actually know something about;
• Don’t Take my Word: things that I write about that probably I don’t know about … so just a warning;
• Alternative Time Lines: About things that could have happened and what would have happened if they had;
• Modelling & Simulation: About toying around with tools from physics mathematics and economics;
• Mellow on Music: About music, instruments and gear;
• Accents of Ascents: About climbing, rock, ice, routes and gear;

You will find all the latest post sorted chronologically on the News! page.

I am totally into Star Wars, but I write about that on Clone Corridor.

I also write for the blog of the Centre for Teaching and Learning Economics that I am a founding member of.
