My eight month old is tall enough to pull my textbooks off the bookshelf- Peskin and Schroeder, Mike and Ike, Jackson. I’ve got to swap these books out for stuff that’s more his speed. Griffiths, Taylor and the like.
Some parents say hey eight months is too early to introduce the Lagrangian framework, but nobody knows your child’s body better than they do. If they say they’re ready, all we can do is trust them.

@cpkimber@scicomm.xyz Chris Ferrie has an awesome series of titles. I bought my grandson "Maths for Babies" when he was one and a half. A is for addition, ..., G is for Group Theory, ... etc. For years he insisted his mum did maths with him before bed.

@cpkimber@scicomm.xyz Yeah, but don’t start with theory, they’re clearly an experimentalist.
