Thanks everybody for all your kind words and advice, not only in my name but also in the name of my wife... even though she is quite confused by all the strange names I mention to her
I didn't mention it's a boy, called by the name of Alexander:
Congrats, L. I assume he'll be learning diff. eq. this fall.
If he's anything like his dad he will
never solve them. Because I can't either. Contrary to the picture some seem to have about me, I actually suck in maths, always did. I can't even really solve ordinary quadratic equations... in school I almost had a solid "F" in maths.
But there's always hope... he could come after his mother, someone with a knack for math and more importantly a practical approach to life. Maybe he can learn from me that wasting your time and efforts on games doesn't get you far in life.
Not sure if the "don't do as dad does" style of education does work well, though...
Thanks again everybody!
