More and more schools/firms are offering programs that give students years of experience in differential equations (instead of perhaps one course that a PhD physicist takes) and that these specially trained students have an advantage over physics students in doing these sorts of calculations.Ted Sandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15001183656827732917noreply@blogger.com
