Concierto de Aranjuez 3rd movement: Allegro Gentile
Joaquín Rodrigo (Comp.) / Narciso Yepes (12-stringer)
Before each Wednesday or Friday evening lecture, Prof Leung liked to play Concierto de Aranjuez from Youtube as a kind of mood setting. Usually only movements 1 or 2 were played, but the third movement is my favourite, so here you go.

Tutorial 3: Cracking Tiles
Tutorial 6: Fibonacci's Rabbits
Tutorial 6: Turtle Crawl
Tutorial 8: Szymborska's Utopia
Examination: Proving the Obvious
Miscellany: Application to MA1505: The Nabla Vector (use of metaphors)

Concierto de Aranjuez, second movement
About the Course A course in the ideas behind breakthroughs in mathematics. In the course, complicated ideas are broken down into simple ones and presented as the mathematicians would have imagined it. This idea is mirrored in the test/exam/tutorials, where one arrives at proofs using guided instructions. This course reveals the joy of mathematics. Despite this, it probably put off some people from maths forever.
Because some things cannot be unlearnt, the ideas of GEK1517 has stuck on me and follows me wherever I go, surfacing occasionally and unexpectedly in my other modules (Calculus, physics, chemistry and even writing!).
