My old Physics professor and I had a great talk today. He is 80 something but recently decided to revise chapters from his books that he did not pay too much attention to while studying and working.
He was happy to see me and soon we will start with our classes again. Had someone told me that I would voluntarily want to do Physics classes and crave to solve Geometry problems long after finishing school, I would have laughed! Yet, I am more than excited about it and my book from 10th grade is open in front me...I stared at it for a while and realized I needed to go back to 6th grade to remember all those laws I had forgotten.
On the Social Sciences side of life, I have to share the name of a book I enjoyed reading and a movie I watched recently and liked. For reading, John Steinbeck "Of Mice and Men"; for watching, a Romanian movie:"The Rest Is Silence". Hillarious! Also heard only good things about "Wedding in Bessarabia", a 2010 national production.
I am off to solve the math problem: how to prove that the center of mass of a triangle is one third away from the bases and two thirds away from the vertices?
