* Afew names: the teacher of Newtonian physics (Phys01, Phys02) and Newtonian Mechanics (ΚΜ1), [[wikipedia:Nikolaos Kylafis|Nikolaos Kylafis]]. He was tought Calculus by the very stimulating [https://scholar.google.gr/citations?user=X9csaEcAAAAJ&hl=el Taxiarchis Papakostas]. He was introduced to the lovely field of Linear Algebra  and to Probability theory by [https://www.physics.uoc.gr/en/faculty/i.papadakis Iossif Papadakis].  
* A few names: the professor of General physics (Phys01, Phys02) and Newtonian Mechanics (ΚΜ1), [[wikipedia:Nikolaos Kylafis|Nikolaos Kylafis]] had a great impact on him, and introduced him in the axiomatic way of thinking. Was tought Calculus by the very stimulating [https://scholar.google.gr/citations?user=X9csaEcAAAAJ&hl=el Taxiarchis Papakostas]. Was introduced to the lovely field of Linear Algebra  and to Probability theory by [https://www.physics.uoc.gr/en/faculty/i.papadakis Iossif Papadakis].  


* He had been taught [[wikipedia:Dimensional_analysis|dimensional analysis]] by the legendary [https://www.physics.uoc.gr/en/faculty/e.economou Eleftherios Economou]. Ordinary Differential Equations by [https://www.physics.uoc.gr/en/faculty/e.kiritsis Elias Kyritsis]. Sat on two graduate Physics classes during his last year of studies (Quantum  Many Body Theory and Analytic Mechanics) that were given by [https://www.physics.uoc.gr/en/faculty/g.psaltakis Gregory Psaltakis].  He had shown him the beauty and unity of mathematical physics, something that left him an everlasting impression.

*He was taught Physics experiments with [https://www.physics.uoc.gr/en/faculty/c.haldoupis Christos Chaldoupis] and [https://www.physics.uoc.gr/en/faculty/d.charalambidis Dimitris Charalambidis].  Was introduced to computational physics (using Fortran 77) first by Christos Chaldoupis mentioned earlier and then by [https://www.physics.uoc.gr/en/faculty/x.zotos Xenophon Zotos]. The second one made his experiences with Fortran77 bearable and pleasant. The first one showed him that he was surely not fond of experimental physics, but that he enjoyed writing reports on the results of the experiments and doing the analysis, and lastly also introduced him (unsuccessfully) to the [https://www.dislin.de/ DISLIN] Fortran graph library. It was something like [https://matplotlib.org/ matplotlib], but for Fortran.

* Around 2004 he'd discovered at the Mathematics' department library the book [https://www.amazon.es/Foundations-Analysis-Third-Chelsea-Publishing/dp/082182693X "Foundations of Analysis"] by [[wikipedia:Edmund_Landau| Edmund Landau]]. This book changed his focus from Physics to Mathematics permanently.
