Life is a complex variable

摘要

I once took a college course called Functions of a Complex Variable. It wasn't part of the required curriculum in mechanical engineering. I took it as an elective from the Math Department because (1) I liked math even though some of it was difficult, and (2) I enjoyed being in class with math majors. As TV philosopher Andy Rooney said, "I've learned that to grow as a person, the easiest way is to surround myself with people smarter than I am."
