Exactly. These students would be far better off mastering ideas like angular momentum and torque. String theory can wait until grad school.

- tallanvor 18y agoObviously the basics are important, but if string theory keeps them interested - and maybe even helps them decide to continue in physics through college, then including it is a very smart decision.
- yummyfajitas 18y agoIt's a FAIL because they are not learning string theory. The only way they are actually learning string theory is if the article forgot to mention this: Math students now learn Partial Differential Equations, Fourier Analysis, Complex Variables and Hilbert Spaces -- hot topics that are usually not covered until the 3'rd year of college or beyond.
