Then go analyze this brain scan image for me and tell me if the patient has a brain tumor or not. Or try chemical engineering. I've taken organic chemistry courses, so I could probably (given a lot of time) tell you how to synthesize a simple compound. How to actually make it in kilogram quantities I would have no idea--that's how different chemical engineering is from the purer theoretical chemistry. -- Beware of bugs in the above code; I have only proved it correct, not tried it. -- Donald E.
