An unfortunate effect of the predominance of fads is that if a student doesn't learn about such worthwhile topics as the wave equation, Gauss's hypergeometric function, the gamma function, and the basic problems of the calculus of variations--among others--as an undergraduate, then he\/she is unlikely to do so later. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe natural place for an informal acquaintance with such ideas is a leisurely introductory course on differential equations.
