I'm a phd chemist who does safety work for (mostly) engineers. I get a lot of "but you can do quantum physics, this should be easy".

I always reply that it's just basic maths, anyone who graduated highschool can "do" quantum physics. But I'm convinced all the people who say they can visualize whats going on are just liars. But then, that's also how I feel about FEM, so what do I know.

I don't know what high school you went to, but we sure as shit didn't cover stuff like partial differential equations and functional analysis.
