Re: [Phys-L] Math phobia (Was: Legitimate Phys-L topics.)

In the long-ago, I attended a top-rated selective high school, where 
besides French, one had the choice of Latin or German (a prerequisite 
then  for Law and Medicine on the one hand, or Chemistry? on the other).
The Science element was called "General Science" and was conducted by a 
German emigre, Doctor Kober. I can note with gratitude that Woodwork and 
Art were also were required topics. It was a sadness that History 
periods dealt in depth with the French Revolution, while the  elements 
of British history were largely absent.
