Static physics is the new bane of my younger daughter's existence. She is a freshman engineering major at Wisconsin-Madison. The first semester it was a math class she was placed into based on high school work and test scores. It turned out to be the most flunked class at Madison and the first washing-out point for engineering majors. School was always easy for her right through high school and she didn't believe me when I warned her this was not going to be an easy gig. A month into fall semester, she believed me. She called me in St. Louis one evening, or I called her, one or the other, and she said Dad, I'm afraid I'm going to flunk this class. She worked really hard on it, went to tutoring sessions Monday and Wednesday evenings, and wound up getting a B. She said when I saw that grade I was literally jumping up and down. She's sweet on the outside but also competitive.

(And in case anyone thinks I am going for reflected glory, I'm not. I have known and said for a long time that she is WAY smarter than me).
