What is the use of a house if you haven't got a tolerable planet to put it on?"
--Henry David Thoreau,
My wife Sharon Yoder had a fine undergraduate liberal arts education. Those of you who are involved in the field of computers in education will recognize her name as the author or co-author of a great many books. Initially she focused mainly on Logo, but then expanded her interests to a wide variety of other topics. Learn more about her at http://iae-pedia.org/Sharon_Yoder.
Relative to my wife Sharon, my undergraduate education consisted of meeting the minimal requirements outside of the science, and focusing on chemistry, mathematics, and physics. I am quite happy with my undergraduate education, but I am frequently somewhat embarrassed by not having Sharon’s knowledge and insights in the liberal arts areas.
