Mark Dominus
I am a physics ignoramus. I enjoyed three semesters of college honors physics, but only scraped through a semester of quantum physics by having my physics-major friend translate the physics homework into mathematics for me, then doing the mathematics parts, and having him translate the mathematical answers back into physics.
I am quite handy with mathematics, so this got me a passing grade, but I never did understand the physics, and my later revisits to the material didn't help.
I write a blog that often carries articles about science and mathematics. I have written a few blog articles about physics.
