An early sign of the coming of spring is provided by dandelions. Lawns and fields suddenly have bright yellow flowers. They form small balls growing near the surface of a lawn. Some people consider dandelions to be a nuisance when one or two are growing on a lawn.

I was pretty good at Math as an undergrad. I was one or two courses short of a second major in the subject, and even the Math I had to use in graduate school was stuff I had already learned or some uninspired extension of methods I was already very familiar with. I was thus confident of success when I followed my friend Mike’s advice and signed up for 18.305, Advanced Analytic Methods in Science and Engineering, a graduate-level Read More
