Being exposed to theory, stimulated by a basic love of concepts and mathematics, was a marvelous experience.

After a subsequent interview at Brooklyn Poly, I was hired, and life as a fully independent researcher began.

During my McGill years, I took a number of math courses, more than other students in chemistry.

Being exposed to theory, stimulated by a basic love of concepts and mathematics, was a marvelous experience.

My education at Baron Byng High School was excellent, with dedicated masters (boys and girls were separate).

I have always loved going to school.

My interest in the sciences started with mathematics in the very beginning, and later with chemistry in early high school and the proverbial home chemistry set.
