Oh, I can handle the math if I learn it from the ground up, and I'd like to have a mathematical understanding of it. The problem I find is that physics teachings gets split into two kinds: mathless versions that try to explain by analogy and only give vague representations of what's really going on, and technical papers that assume you have a doctorate in physics or math and already know everything. I can never seem to find a middle ground which teaches you the math as it goes (or at least does so well), so ultimately for me to learn physics the way I want, I'd have to go back to school or deeply study it on my own.
