Re: [Phys-l] Inquiry



I'm trying to imagine a mode which is more delivery than reading.

It seems to me it is very much to the point. But you are correct, when you are part of the club, when you understand the key concepts and are familiar with the language and methodology, a great deal can be learned from books.

Is that where our beginning students are?

cheers,

Oh, for heaven's sake. There is a great deal that must be learned
from books at one stage or another. Surely THAT'S not a point of
debate?
