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?

Hee, maths is actually fun to discuss, at times. Various quirks and so on. He'd be nicknamed a 'mathmo' at uni, actually - short for mathematician, and the interview process generally involves a discussion with the tutors, and doing a mathematical problem publically while explaining reasoning, or so I'm told.
