 Hello everyone, well, this is the last post, so let's do it. I didn't know what to write, and I don't like having idols because they fall too quickly, but currently, there is a person I admire academically. I could talk about the frog, grapefruit juice, or the yogurt market at Jumbo, and probably people who have studied mathematics in the Faculty of Sciences will know the legend I'm talking about. Yes, I'm talking about Jorginho aka "Jorge Soto-Andrade." He is a professor at the aforementioned faculty at the University of Chile, graduated in 1967 with a degree in mathematics from the same faculty and university. Master's in pure mathematics in Strasbourg and a Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of Paris. He has stood out for influencing a large number of math teachers in Chile, an exponent of mathematics didactics, and a tireless researcher. He deserved this mention in my blogs for his interdisciplinarity and work in Chilean education.

I chose this location for the photo because I wanted to find a different perspective from the one usually captured in this place. Physically, the photo shows Lake Llanquihue (?) and the Frutillar dock. Emotionally, I believe this photo reflects how lonely and melancholic I felt at that time, hahaha, in addition to not knowing what to do with my life or where to focus. In the end, that little trip and a period of pandemic lockdown helped me think things through, and now I believe I am a very different person from the photographer I was back th...
