Tell me one thing. If you have such an interest in math, why haven't you
gotten a formal education in it. A genius *rolls eyes* like you should have
no problem getting at least a bachelor's in math. I am almost done with
mine, got my associate's degree in math last year.

I have a B.Sc. in physics. A physics degree trumps a math degree, as
you need a lot of math anyway, and you also need more...

Why don't you get a degree in physics, if you can, and then come back
and talk to me?

I started out studying physics. I have a undergraduate study. Then I realized
I really hated 'the miracle' approach.
After two years of hearing of 'geniuses' and here is what you should compute on
I was fed up. I went over to math.
Once I had a bachelor in math I went back to physics for my masters
at the institute for theoretical astrophysics in Quantum field theory
and general relativity.
Now with the mathematical maturity to truly understand them.
I realizes that half ass pseudo dynamic descriptions were all wrong.
This was a purly pragmatic approach.
1. You see symmetries. You categorize them (groups like SU3).
2. You create a representation.
3. You get a field (Noethlers theorem)
Now I feel I have the background to truly get into the
mind if Dirac and see what he saw.

I never felt that in physics..
