OK - So I've hit a stumbling block with my book. *hates research hate hate
hate*

I have a boy who wants to go to Oxbridge - this is 1960...

He's got an engineering kind of mind, but I don't think degrees in
"Engineering" were actually offered until the 1990's - so what sort of
carreer path would he have? anyone know?

Degree in Maths? or Physics? Then what? Not an apprentice?

Don't remind me, I did Pure & Applied Maths for A-level! However, since the Applied part was almost identical to O-level Physics (at least in our syllabuseseses), and I never could quite get the hang of calculus in the Pure part, I am occasionally still amused to have achieved an O-level Pass in it. In a subject one couldn't (at the time) do at O-level.
