Class made me cry today. It was the first time that that has happened since I've been in college. I don't know why we're learnimg quatum in a supposedly easy physics class. It's interesting until we have to solve problems. Then I feel the weight of crushing stupidity because I don't understand something that most peole who actually know how to do math don't really understand. That and I can't remember how to do algebra. I don't understand why someone would expect a room full of English and social science majors to be able to solve questions about quantum mechanics without using numbers. It's like asking mathmeticians to critique an ethnography on Japan without giving them any background or context in which to complete the task.
