Bubble I dream of the day when the Vatican Archives are opened to all historians. I have a strong feeling that much of the Library of Alexandria is hidden there. If these two sources of information were exposed to sunlight much of human history would change.
Im a civil engineer. But I have been fascinated by History since I got my first book about George Washington for Christmas when I was about 6. So during my 5 years of undergrad I spent an inordinate amount of time for an engineering student in History classes. Enough so that a couple classes after finishing my Masters got me a second major in History. Ive thought about retiring and teaching HS History. Maybe one day.
Today I take every free class that Hillsdale College offers in math and history. My favorite was "Geometry and Logic: From Euclid to Modern Geometry". If you want to cultivate a logical mind take Geometry courses and learn how to do proofs.
