Sciences in Hannu Vuori's life

In addition to the natural sciences included in my university studies I've always been interested in geography and maps. That's why I also saw it worthwhile to start constructing a page with related texts and links.


Sciences

The place, where I studied sciences has by now developed into the modern University of Jyväskylä*. During my student years I, of course, came to know best the department of chemistry, which now looks like this*.

I studied at Jyväskylä University full-time for years 1968 - 72 and after starting to work as a teacher I continued my studies during summer terms until year 1982, when I received my M. A. degree. The lower degree, correspondig to B. Sc. I did in three years, getting it ready in 1971.
My major was all the time organic chemistry and my final thesis was on 'Structural analysis of cyclodiene insecticides by spectroscopic methods'. If You find this immensely interesting, feel free to ask more :-) As minors I had mathematics, physics, theoretical physics and computer science, the last one of which I added to my repertoire in 1981.


Geography

On the sector of geography, I'd first like to introduce carefully made pages maintained by Paul Carroll telling an impressive story about Southern Atlantic islands*.
