Interview with George Cobb

GC: When I turned 18 in the spring of 1965 I was nearing the end of my first year at Dartmouth. The previous quarter I had completed the honors section of vector calculus, reputed to be the hardest course in the undergraduate curriculum. At one point in my life I might have considered that a big deal, but Dartmouth had put me in my place. There were at least two dozen other members of the entering class who completed that same course along with me.
