Heh! I graduated with distinction in all subjects...I would have had a higher GPA if I'd been smart enough to get out of the CS classes before I really started having trouble. But I bombed the math GRE...I am a slow thinker, and the only reason I could do the weekly problem sets is that I literally read them as soon as they were assigned and then spent the entire week slowly cogitating over them. I'm not sure I would have gotten into a decent grad school if I'd pursued a doctorate.

I agree that the 100-term tensors looked horrifying and awful, but they were regular features of Joe's problem sets out of the textbook. One more reason I'm not a physicist!

(That, and I tend to break lab equipment.)
