*Sigh of Relief*

So, today, at about 1pm, or so, my roommate, Joshua knocks on the door to my room. After I invite him in, he hands my a package with “amazon.com” emblazoned across the side. I knew exactly what it was. It was my own personal copy of “Differential Equations for Dummies.” I was pretty excited as it was to get the book, so that I could study for my ODE class in the fall.
But then, something magical happened. As I was flipping through the first couple of pages, I realized that I pretty much knew what the author was talking about. It was nice that, at least the majority of the principles were based heavily on calculus as opposed to linear algebra. That having been said, power series and Laplace transforms are going to be interesting…but I think it’ll work out pretty well for me.
The moral of the story: I’m a nerd…and nerds just shouldn’t worry too much about academics.
