Maharishi Mathematics

It's that time of year when eager young students are deciding where to embark on, or to continue, their higher educations. You can see our advice-giving posts on choosing an undergraduate school and choosing a graduate school. But there are a lot of options out there, and it would be a shame to overlook any of them. So we'd be remiss not to mention the unique opportunities offered by the Maharishi University of Management. Founded by the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, spiritual advisor to the Beatles, and led by John Hagelin, highly-cited theoretical physicist and occasional Presidential candidate, the MUM offers a -- did I already mention "unique"? -- set of experiences to the enthusiastic student. And that's not even counting the Yogic Flying! Here, for example, are some of the course descriptions for the undergraduate major in mathematics.
