Just a nitpick, but Bob Berenz is an electrician not an electrical engineer. Electrical engineering is firmly rooted in modern physics and an educated electrical engineer would not need "help with the math." Out of all engineering disciplines, an electrical engineer is possibly the most prepared to work side by side with a physicist. As to your questions, no, I don't think academics should provide more resources to "physicists who just need a little help with the math." They are not physicists and there are plenty of resources at community colleges that can help them. We should not entertain the notions of those that refuse to learn the tools necessary to develop a deeper understanding. Math is not optional, it is the language by which we describe the structure of the universe.
