Re: Letters and Journals of Mrs Calderwood

...mildred, please tell me your college physics class did Taylor series??

If we did, it left no trace in my memory, much like the October 1752 entry on the disappearance of the non-cousin Marschall!

Keep in mind, I only did two semesters of physics, before switching my major from physics, where they expected us to do math without teaching us math, to math, where they taught us math before expecting us to do it. (My physics prof was very surprised at the following facts:

1. I was noticeably better than my classmates at a number of physics problems that were heavily math-focused.
2. I complained that the math was the reason I was dropping my physics major.
3. I was switching my major to math.

I told him it could all be explained by the fact that I was extremely good at math if and only if you actually taught me the math first!)
