The concepts that the professor discussed were interesting, and I was very familiar with them from courses I take for engineering. I was not expecting a class lecture though, so I wish I was more prepared. I probably would have drank coffee before. It was very neat understanding how equations I use in class were derived and connected to one another.

Einstein House
I was shocked learning about Einstein’s personal life. In pictures he just looked like he’d be the fun cooky uncle, so finding out his lack of involvement with his own kids was surprising. It changed my views of him in a negative way. Although I still have an enormous amount of respect for his accomplishments, I no longer respect who he was as a person. On another note, it was very intriguing being in his actual apartment and seeing the couch he actually used.

Although I am not an engineering major the way the professor explained the topics in the lecture was actually not too hard to follow.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you about the lecture. Because I knew most of the topics already, it was a little difficult trying not to fall asleep in the warm room but it was cool learning about them from a different perspective.
ReplyDeleteI was also really surprised learning about Einstein's personal life. It really change how I view him knowing the relationship he had with his family.
