In connection to the publication of my new textbook Mathematical Methods for Physics and Engineering, CRC Press has graciously offered Physics Forums three free copies of it to use as prizes in various competitions. This is the third and last of the contests, the previous two being the photo contest and haiku/limerick contest, which ran over the holidays.
The contest task is to share an account of your best educational experience. It may be something you experienced as a student or as a teacher, but should be a good example of how your education or that someone you were teaching benefited from the actions described in the account. Your account may be as long or short as necessary, but make sure to include as much information as is needed to properly appreciate it. Only one entry per member.
The winner will be selected by voting among the mentors. Your account needs to be submitted before February 7 (coincidentally my birthday) to guarantee consideration.
Note! The book is aimed towards advanced undergraduate and graduate students in physics and the prerequisites for understanding the contents are therefore rather high. If for this or any other reason you feel that you do not want the book, you are still welcome to share your account. Just mention in your post that your account is not intended as a contest entry.
Note (2)! Due to shipping costs, we can offer free shipping within the United States only. If you want to compete for the book from another country, be aware that shipping costs may have to be imposed.
