The last two I took, purely for kicks, were number theory and abstract algebra, and these as "hands-on" and "playful" as I think I've ever seen mathematics. Immensely enjoyable.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, the treatment of electromagnetism and solid state devices in my physics course could have easily scared me away from these topics for life, if I hadn't had a Radio Shack electronics tinkering kit and Forrest Mims III books as a young boy, and a father who enjoyed helping me wind coils and epoxy magnets into place to build an electric motor.<BR/><BR/>>> (My opinions on how to reform this are best left for another day.)<BR/><BR/>I look forward to that post very much.Jason Morrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01407368069531579473noreply@blogger.com
