I studied engineering in the national university, the Universidad Autonoma, in San Ildefonso.

I studied at a grammar school and later at the University of Vienna in the Faculty of Medicine.

Later in the fifties I got involved in kinetic studies using my long forgotten math background.

Besides numerous science courses, I had the opportunity to study philosophy, the history of architecture, economics, and Russian history in courses taught by extraordinarily knowledgeable professors.

I was very good in math and physics. In the Soviet time, we had a lot of Olympic-style competitions for different disciplines: I was always winning in my region.

I visited the Gymnasium in The Hague and passed my final examination (in the sciences section) in 1943.

I remember being in strong physics, physiology and biology classes.

I was fascinated by each area I studied, whether neurology, urology or surgery.

After attending the gymnasium between my eighth and seventeenth years, I studied classical philology at Berlin University for two years under Boeckh and Lachmann, and with the friendly support of Emanuel Geibel and Franz Kugler, I dabbled in all sorts of poetry.
