Ага, як це взагалі можливо? Вчити спочатку історію, а тут бац - теорфізику відразу
З вікі:
He attended Edinburgh University in Scotland in 1975, and
received a bachelor's degree in physics and in medieval history from Yale University, summa cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa in 1976. His senior thesis was: “Quarks, Charm and the Psi Particle.” He then received his doctorate in theoretical physics from the University of Oxford in 1979, where he was a Rhodes Scholar.
During his time in Oxford, around 1977 to 1979, he was based at St John's College, Oxford working with Christopher Llewellyn Smith, chairman of Oxford Physics, who was a Fellow of the College, and among other duties he served as tutor to physics undergraduates, including Stephen Wolfram who went on to found Mathematica, and Oliver Tickell, currently editor of The Ecologist. He was subsequently a postdoctoral fellow at Rockefeller University and MIT, and an experimental research associate at Brookhaven and Fermilab National Laboratories.
Тобто степінь бакалавра він отримав і по фізиці, і по середньовічній історії.
Я не знаю, наскільки типово для американських університетів отримати дві спеціалізації, але undergraduate навчання там як правило досить базове, основне навчання по спеціальності відбувається на наступному рівні (до степені Магістра (Master's) чи/та доктора (PhD) ).
