March 7, 201610 yr A friend of mine is a astrophysicist and teaches and researches astronomy at UofL, he says a lot of his students signed up thinking they were taking astrology, lol. They in for one hellava surprise !!! lol
March 7, 201610 yr LIKE. I took physics, chemistry, advanced chemistry, zoology in high school. And that was quite some time ago. The year after I graduated, they offered genetics. Took advanced algebra, trig and something called "pre-calculus". The year after I graduated, they offered probability/statistics. Not saying it was wonderful, but our high school's course catalog looked like that of a small college. This all started when I was in 11th grade (HS was grades 10-11-12). The four semesters of English I had were "Mythology and Man", Acting Arts, Shakespeare, and "Language and Human Behavior". Classes were "graded" by degree of difficulty, which factored somehow in GPA. I digress. Anything space-related always has and always will fascinate me. I will always remember watching the moon landing on TV in 1969. Just got through teaching that about ten minutes ago. Calculus upcoming in forty minutes

I bet it was called current events when you took it. Was Shakespeare as good of a guest lecturer as he was a writer? #mcpapaisold
March 7, 201610 yr #mcpapaisold I bet it was really educational seeing live dinosaurs during Zoology class field trips and getting to see them in person. Dinosaurs, no. Miss Gutowski was hot, though. Mythology? I bet it was called current events when you took it. No. History was called current events when I took it. Was Shakespeare as good of a guest lecturer as he was a writer? I lent him my ears, but he kept talking about burying someone.

March 7, 201610 yr Trig is great for the understanding of basic physics. Calculus and differential equations opens so many more doors of understanding, though. Yah ....
