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

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.

My mother used to wheel me about the campus when we lived in that neighborhood and, as she recounted years later, she would tell me that I would go to McGill.

Most of them just don't want to take math and geometry and the other courses to get a degree. They want to learn to build boots and saddles and go home.

I believe in me more than anything in this world.

I took a lot of writing courses.
