Hi, I'm really only in the forum to help my wife (as my questions will show). for 5 years after graduating from an ivy league as an electric engineer she took care of our kids instead of working, and is now going to do a masters. she's doing some prep work (5 years out of school is a long time, as i know myself as well).

as i know nothing about physics/engineering, all i do is i try to find good books for her to study (so far has gone well, but now it seems i need some help).
