Special Thanks


UCR Physics 2000 Classroom

I would like to thank everyone who ever taught me. Only a very few people are formally listed below. Indeed, some teach me very much indeed without knowing they do it - my students are often a great example of this.

All the same, without the time and knowledge shared with me by those listed below, I would not be me. So regardless of how many lectures I skived off, spurned, or slept through at the time, a (hopefully) wiser me says: "Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge."

Education is the most powerful weapon we can use to change the world.

Nelson Mandela 16 July 2003

I sat these courses at Texas A&M University - Kingsville, Texas A&M University - Corpus Christi, the University of California - Riverside, California State University - San Bernardino, and San Bernardino Valley College.
