Hi,

I am a physics student with a physical disability that limits my
motor
skills. I am wondering if there are any alternatives to the right hand
rule.
I understand the the principle, but my motor skills make it difficult to
carry out. Any help would be appreciated..

Too bad you can't just visualize the right hand rule outcome with your
brain...
Too bad, indeed! Reminds me of space**** and tj...

It appears that "Sam Wormley" does not know
that brain mapping shows that
the tongue, the eyes, and the hands
consume much (most?) of the resources of the brain,
and that the interplay between these elements
is critical to learning and thinking.

I suggest that he do a Google search on
("brain mapping" hand), and take a look
at the URL below, which talks about how
a man's brain reacted to transplants of both hands.

I also suggest that "Sam Wormley"
should take a look at URL

http://www.mathematicalbrain.com/sept03/tel02.html

which points out the relationship between maths and finger counting
and states, among other things:

"Intriguingly, the precise region in the parietal lobes
where this skill (MATHS) resides - the "intraparietal sulcus" - also
controls finger movement.
It is no accident that finger counting is an almost universal stage in the
child's learning of arithmetic
(though it is unclear where one ancient New Guinea culture fits in -
it has a 33 base system, which includes toes, testicles and penis, said Prof
Butterworth)."
