"ABOUT SCIENCE......

Science is magic and is THE supreme illustration of the aphorism:

"THE WHOLE IS ALWAYS GREATER THAN THE SUM OF ITS PARTS !!!!.

For example, the total price of all the chemical elements that make out our bodies is about $600. Clearly we are worth more than that and, when combined, these elements can think, learn, dance, sing, and build.....

ABOUT LEARNING

My two mottos are :

1) "What you learn has to make sense to YOU ! "

2) "I can teach but, ONLY YOU CAN LEARN ! "

In general, there are no bad students, - just inadequate instruction. I teach by listening to each student, by trying to understand their difficulties, even if unarticulated, and by helping them to devise their own solutions and their own methodologies.
