...she's taking Ultra Super Brainiac deluxe advanced algebra or something similar. It's one of those that causes my head to swell and brain to smoke on mere eye contact with the textbook.

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. But, in practice, there is.

Have you mentioned this before? That you have a daughter who is a PhD? Wow, now them's some braggin' rights.
I can see that one; "And what does your child do?"
"Oh, she's a PhD at Cornell, and your boy, what does he do?"
"Him? ah, breathes air mostly..."

I've pulled A's in all four classes that I've taken since I started back to school in the summer semester of '06.
Going back to school after 22 years of not is pretty cool.
And Murr, that's great that your daughter is a PhD student. Congratulations to her

A doctoral candidate and at Cornell. Cornell's a cut or two above the local State University too. Congratulations Dad, you get some credit here too, I'm sure. Regards, Tom

It frightens me because Maths, along with Physics, was one of my strong subjects, and I never that well
Congrats Torch. I think you'll do well in Programming. You have the right sort of mind for it.

I'm proud of her. Her mother and I divorced during her second year of her four year Bachelor's degree, and she has had to make her own way since then, esp. financially. She's good enough that she has earned something like 6 years worth of grants/scholarships (4 from Canadian govt, 2 from Cornell). So she has done it all on her own. She's sort of a retro hippie/rebel, so I laughed my ass off when she announced she was turning down Cambridge for an Ivy league school in the US. On the other hand, John Cleese was a professor at large at Cornell, so it can't be too stuffy.
