 @60d98082 calculus, statics and dynamics isn't magic. But electrical engineering sure as fuck is. As an ME we took "circuits for non-believers" (dumbed down version of the circuits class that the EE's take) and that was enough for me.

There are parallels with mechanical principles but I still don't get most of it. 
 @7f888041 RF is magic. I can remember keying up once and the fluorescent lights started glowing and my toddler's electronic rocking horse started doing all sorts of weird shit.
