I personally respect kids who have an appreciation for such things.
This is the last math I took http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourier_transform Math gets weird. At a point it really starts to be like philosophy, it make you start seeing reality in a way you maybe did not see it before. It gets spooky. edit: I highly expect that Jimmy Page liked his math. In his legendary skiffle video, he says he wants to do biological research as a career. From the looks of it, I expect JP was the only one in that band not to be a PhD. And I expect he ended up the richest. http://youtube.com/watch?v=cKUyHpoWnT4 This post has been edited by fkalich: Sep 23 2007, 09:31 PM |

Having an understanding of the maths really helped. I also found maths really good to understand the physics behind the sort of chemistry I was mainly involved in (chemical analysis based on mass spectroscopy - the math helped me understand both how molecules might statiscally favour one decay and how the unstable molecule could be stabilised - temporarily - in 3d space for analysis). At this end I agree that the math quickly moves towards philosophy - I've some friends who did their PhDs in philosophy on issues to do with quantum maths, chaos theory and so on .

Have a feeling that Andy Summers out of the Police has a PhD . Pat Kane (Hew and Cry) is a visiting Prof at York.
Seems unlikely that Brian May could have completed a (the same) PhD after a long lay off. A major criteria for a PhD is 'originality' and so you are under pressure to complete before anyone else does something too similar. He might however have submitted a new thesis and I'm pretty certain that he has at least one honorary doctorate.

Just had a look At Brian May's official site and the blog mentions does his impending PhD, subject to corrections, Resurrection so a congrats to Brian is in order. Not easy to get; not least with all his other commitments.
(PhD trivia - UK PhD are subject to the following, using my University scale: 5.1 - Straight pass, no corrections, immediate designation of PhD/Dr of ... 5.2 - Pass with Minor Correction - subject to examiners approval may start to call oneself Dr. Corrections identified submitted within a specified time and subject to approval by lead examiner. 5.3 - Pass subject to Minor Corrections subject to approval - as above but cannot use Dr title until corrections approved. 5.4 Pass subject to Major Corrections - As 5.3 but major corrections are required. 5.5 - Redesignation subject to correction- Award of a 'lower' qualification - ie MPhil/MRes. No PhD. 5.6 - Fail If a Thesis is submitted with supervisory approval then 5.6 should be rare. Most PhD candidates that are not likely to make the grade are generally councilled not to submit long before the date. Many PhD candidates drop out before completion/submission for lots of reasons. UK prefer submission, for a full time PhD, within a 3-5 year window: part time pro-rata. Most UK Universities also stipulate a minimum time period before you are allowed to submit. In the UK you are orally examined by an internal and several external examiners on a written thesis that you submit. The thesis is usually between 40-80,000 words. Oral examination usually are between 1-4 hours but some go longer. PhD is in most countries the highest educational examined award you can achieve. In many countries a professorship is an honorary title not an examined award. So Brian has shown both his tenacity and ability in astrophysics to achieve one. Kudos to Brian.)

Absolutely Resurrection,
part of the humour in Hitchhiker's was to unsettle and question what we take as a given fact about the Universe...
