传记与作者历程
Barbara Oakley’s route to prominence as a writer on learning was notably nonlinear. After struggling with math and science in school, she enlisted in the U.S. Army, studied Russian at the Defense Language Institute in Monterey, earned a B.A. in Slavic languages and literature from the University of Washington, and served in Germany as a signal officer, eventually becoming a captain. A decisive turn came when her work with communications equipment showed her how much technical fluency mattered. She returned to school, earned a B.S. in electrical engineering, later completed an M.S. and Ph.D. at Oakland University, and joined its faculty in 1998. ((https://barbaraoakley.com/about-me/))
