So, one would think that retirement and aftermath would bring travel and the easy life -- finally. That is part of retirement, but I found myself trying to learn the undergraduate mathematics that I was suppose to know but don´t. Likely the others, retired like me, will admit to the same perversion. I started with Landau´s Grundlagen der Analysis. This is a classic and should be studied carefully by every undergraduate. Studying the Grundlagen brought back many found memories of Mr. Hoffman´s math 501, taught on the 4th floor of the Classroom Building in the classroom at the west end of the building. Math 501 was titled the Real Number System and in those days the first course every new graduate student had to complete. Of course every mathematician claims that they know the Grundlagen but I wonder how many have actually studied it? I know I fell into that category.
