[FRIAM] two books (perhaps a bit more)

[Nick Thompson]

Hi, John, 

 

I assume you realize that I am not Roger.  I am glad you are talking with him.  It’s his chemistry book I have, by the way.  He sold it to me, over my dead body, for a song.  I don’t think people should sell their books.  Now that you know it’s rogers, shall I bring it to you when we meet … this afternoon…at three … at Ohoris?

Roger,

 

Thanks for the recommendation. Sarah had

bought a copy of Pauling's 'Introduction to

Quantum Mechanics' and it had sat at my

periphery until the other night when I read

your post. In one of those few moments of

invincible lucidity, I managed to read the

first 120 pages, deeply satisfying many of

my curiosities. Pauling's exposition was

surprisingly clear, though I must mention

that he also does not mention the direct

connection between Legendre polynomials

and spherical harmonics (thanks wiki!).

 

Cheers,

Jonathan Zingale
