His goal had been from an early age (~16 or so) to get in a Physics department because he enjoyed creating small electrical circuits that would solve a very specific problem. At the first time he wrote 08/20 in Physics, 14.5/20 in Mathematics, 16/20 in Chemistry and 08/20 in Greek composition. The second time he wrote 18/20 in Physics, 14.5/20 (grade reserved from 1st time), 16/20 (grade reserved from 1st time) and 10/20 in Greek composition. He entered the Physics school but from the beginning we was drawn towards mathematics, consequently abandoning electronics and circuits. | ||
* People from that period of his life that played major role in his future development were: his father Logothetis (from [[wikipedia:Naxos|Naxos]]), his mother Chrysoula (from [[wikipedia:Palaia_Epidavros|Palaia Epidavros]]), his physics teacher Vaso Xouria and his uncle and mathematics teacher Elias Tourloukis. | * People from that period of his life that played major role in his future development were: his father Logothetis (from [[wikipedia:Naxos|Naxos]]), his mother Chrysoula (from [[wikipedia:Palaia_Epidavros|Palaia Epidavros]]), his physics teacher Vaso Xouria and his uncle and mathematics teacher Elias Tourloukis. |
