I have faint memories of that stuff. I believe we spent damn near a whole term of a second year course developing the machinery to do that sort of thing.

In most cases you learn it first in physics, then the math department comes along a couple of semesters later and muddies the waters in trying to clean up the mess...

Or, you take it in engineering, then a couple of semesters later the physics department comes along and muddies the waters, then the math department later.

And I suppose the philosophy department would want to be in the discussion eventually, as well...

Fortunately, nobody takes the Philosophy department seriously on these things, the chance of getting those waters unmudied in 2000 years is slim

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
