My interest in the sciences started with mathematics in the very beginning, and later with chemistry in early high school and the proverbial home chemistry set.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My best subjects were chemistry and math.
At Harvard I majored in chemistry with a strong inclination toward math.
As a boy, it was clear that my inclinations were toward the physical sciences. Mathematics, mechanics, and chemistry were among the fields that gave me a special satisfaction.
From the age of 13, I was attracted to physics and mathematics. My interest in these subjects derived mostly from popular science books that I read avidly.
My interests started about in science and in mathematics; I always thought I was going to be a mathematician.
I liked math - that was my favorite subject - and I was very interested in astronomy and in physical science.
At school, my favorite subjects were history, biology, chemistry, and physics. Especially the teaching in physics was excellent. Most of my understanding of it I got at high school, not at the university.
I am a passionate reader, having been tutored very early by my mother. I avidly devoured all books on chemistry that I could find. Formal chemistry at school seemed boring by comparison, and my performance was routine. In contrast, I did spectacularly well in mathematics and sailed through classes and exams with ease.
I've always liked all the sciences, like math, physics and biology.
Ever since I was a kid, I've had an enormous interest in the sciences - everything from quantum physics to anthropology.
