Location Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, United Kingdom
Introduction I'm 20, studying maths at the University of Nottingham and attempting to figure out which area of finance I want to work in and how to get my foot in the door. I am interested in most things. I read incessantly. I love information, synthesising, analysis and generally playing around with equations and models. Of particular interest: Economics, Politics, Business, Investment theory and generally anything about what makes people tick and what makes the world go round. My email is zak.michael.armstrong@outlook.com, my facebook profile is here http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=724127205 and I wish you all good luck in the impossible task of trying to understand the world.
Interests Politics, Current Affairs, Economics, Mathematics, Chess, Debating, systems in general (be they cultural, political, economic, mechanical or otherwise)
Favorite Movies Truly far too many to name, but just in general, I can't stand films which aren't internally consistent, I can't help but notice and it always spoils the experience.
Favorite Music Tend not to have specific bands or artists or genres which I always like. I just listen to tracks, keep track of the ones I like and try and keep it all somewhat organised. That said, I tend far more to like Drum and Bass than anything else at the moment, Camo and Krooked, Nu:tone, Logistics, Pendulum and Coldplay have rarely disappointed and for some reason I don't seem to find Justin Bieber half as annoying as everyone else, I can certainly think of worse artists.
Favorite Books I could be here all day listing my favourite books so I'll stick to generalisations. I like science fiction, particularly a lot of the older stuff from the likes of Asimov/Heinlein/Niven etc. I like anything factual and informative. I also like non-academic books on economics and politics. Chuck in some fantasy/adventure and teen literature (something along the lines of the alex rider/darren shan/maximum ride books)and that's about it.
