I was not an especially diligent student but nevertheless obtained a reasonable education in physics.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Hard to be a physics major at Rice University if you have flunked calculus.
In 1955, I got my degree in electrical-mechanical engineering. I realised, however, that my interest was less in practical applications than in the understanding of the underlying theoretical structure, and I decided to learn physics.
Actually, I was more or less determined to be a theoretical physicist at the age of thirteen.
Regardless of any deviations, it was clear I was supposed to end up in math and physics.
I was going to engineering school but fell in love with physics.
I chose to pursue a career in physics because there the truth isn't so easily bent.
I was always good at math and science and physics.
To be perfectly truthful, I was not a very brilliant student, even at chemistry school.
Yes, I was really good in physics and in math.
When I was a college student at Yale, I was studying physics and mathematics and was absolutely intent on becoming a theoretical physicist.
