Because my math degree is 25 years old now they won't give me exceptions

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.

I hope thats sarcasm.

I'm a mature student in his late 30's 3/4 of the way through a physics
masters. Education should never be restricted, or the sole property of one age
group. Agism really pisses me off.
