Because my math degree is 25 years old now they won't give me exceptions for
the math. Not really a problem; don't mind a bit of revision. Does anyone
have and ideas on some good prereading other than the obvious Feynman
lectures, Landau etc that I already have? I really would like to hear from
guys like PD, Bilge etc that actually teaches/has taught this stuff, but any
comments most welcome.

It's so great when people decide to pursue educational
experiences for pure intellectual enjoyment. You are a
delightful person, Bill, and I fully expect you will have a
wonderful time.

GAG, who want's an old fossil plugging up
the education system? A university is NOT
an OLD FOLK's HOME.
If he can't muster the resources to learn the
material - for himself - at his age, he never will.
