Mr Kazakov;

In every other argument your were part of in this forum, I've
seen you always as  right and on the correct end, except
for this one :)

Do then you start teaching students nonlinear systems before
linear systems?

Since, real systems in reality are non-linear, but we linearized
things to be able to understand them and approximate the
very complex behavior to something we can analyze.

Only in advanced courses we start to study how to analyze
non-linear systems.

Your point that we should start learning general relativity
before classical mechanics makes no sense to me.

Then why not start with string theory first before general
relativity? Lets teach string theory and quantum relativity
as well to high school students before F=ma?

I really lost trying to understand your views here.

Best,
--Nasser
