* In my graduate studies at the [https://www.math.upatras.gr/en/ Mathematics] department pretty much was the place where I became the closest I could become to a mathematician. I remember [https://thalis.math.upatras.gr/~kiordan/ Kosmas Iordanidis] that introduced me to a facet of Numerics that I've never seen before, from the book of [https://mirtitles.org/2012/12/26/computational-mathematics-demidovich-maron/ Demidovich]. [https://www.math.upatras.gr/el/people/ex/past/ Panagiotis Alevizos] that introduced us to Computational Geometry from [https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-1-4612-1098-6 Preparatas' and Shamos'] pretty difficult to digest book. Thankfully Shamos' [http://euro.ecom.cmu.edu/people/faculty/mshamos/1978ShamosThesis.pdf PhD thesis]  was an excellent read, and after creating a group study to pass this class and with the help of my dear friend and pretty bright young mathematician, TaiPanagiotis G., I managed to pass the class the 3rd and last time I gave the exam, just before got kicked out. [https://www.math.upatras.gr/el/people/grapsa Theodoula Grapsa] that introduced us to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interval_arithmetic Interval Analysis] and Numerical Optimization. [https://www.math.upatras.gr/el/people/ragos Omiros Raggos] introduced me to Mathematical Logic and Prolog, and also gave me the opportunity to learn C++ by introducing during our computer labs sessions the undergraduate students of the department to the practical aspects of the language, the GNU/Linux console, the g++ compiler etc. I even have created a [http://student.math.upatras.gr/~milia/ website] for the logistics of the labs and to share useful material with my students there. Surprisingly enough, the website is still live four years since 2017.
