So, was it Griffiths, Purcell, or Jackson that got you?

~~640k~~ 780k ought to be enough for anybody...

Born to late to explore the world.

But not the ocean!

If you can build up intuition around Fourier decomposition I think it gets much easier to understand.

Multiple things going on at the same frequency are indistinguishable (up to a phase). Lots of stuff going on at different frequency can be separated. Light also has frequency (color) and volume (intensity)---it may be more intuitive to conceptualize in this way.

A professional degree is historically different from an academic degree though. Math, chemistry, physics, biology, computer science---these typically produce (well compensated!) professionals, but they are not professional schools.

I am professional; I get paid to do the kinds of things that I did in grad school. But afaik no one would say I hold a professional degree.

All of this is besides the point of course---our student loan system shouldn't disqualify people based on these sorts of semantics.

I was interpreting the quoted text as encompassing all engineering fields, e.g., EE, mechanical, computer, etc.

If that's not the case and this is for specific professional engineering degrees then yep, I certainly agree with you.

Daniel Radcliffe used this to his advantage---same outfit, and the paparazzi stopped bothering him:

It was three or four months. Because I was doing a play in London and every night there was paparazzi outside. And I suddenly realized after like after I just had just been lazy and not changed my clothes for a few days, that they were not there. And I realized it’s probably because I’m wearing the same thing so it all looks like photos from the same day. So I was like ‘I’ll just continue wearing this.’ And they never came back because it all looks like the same picture in front of the same door.

If you search around you might find free ones. Oracle has/had a free tier (though it's Oracle, so...).

Sadly not really. I use the free tier Oracle, which honestly has worked very well, but I'm not going to recommend using Oracle aside to say that it functionally works for me.

If I were to switch I would probably go to racknerd.
