Back in high school (in India), Physics used to be my favorite subject. It demystified the underpinnings of natural phenomena. In fact, Electromagentism was the main reason I decided to major in Electrical Engineering. Unfortunately, the Physics courses in college left a really bad taste in my mouth.
- WalterBright 12y agoI'm sorry for your bad experience with college Physics. May I recommend "Einstein" by Isaacson for some really great prose about the wonder of what Einstein did and tried to do.
- praneshp 12y agoI feel your pain. Engineering Physics (or Chemistry or Math for that matter) in India destroys your love of the subjects that brought you in there in the first place.
