Later in the fifties I got involved in kinetic studies using my long forgotten math background.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I was particularly good at math and science.
I was a mathematics major and really into math.
I remember being in strong physics, physiology and biology classes.
From an early age, I knew I would become a scientist. It may have been my brother Sam's doing. He interested me in the laws of falling bodies when I was ten and helped my father equip a basement chemistry lab for me when I was fifteen. I became skilled in the synthesis of selenium halides.
I think that I got committed to physics at the age of - oh, it must have been 1942 - ten, when most countries were at war and children were interested in airplanes and bombs and such things.
At Harvard I majored in chemistry with a strong inclination toward math.
Plus, I was a math and science whiz from my first introduction to the subjects.
By the time I was 12 or 13, I was studying biochemistry textbooks.
I was always good at math and science and physics.
I was never strong at maths, but I eventually got onto a university physics/astronomy course, and that led on to my Ph.D. and eventual employment.
