I've read most of those books but when it comes to math/electronics I unfortunately only understand some of it a big fault in my choice of areas to study.
If I could do it over again, math would at least have been as important to me as the arts and philosophy.
I'm always a little envious of people who are able to read the kind of books on his 2015 bookshelf and actually understand them.
No it wasn't ignored. I was largely inspired! Inspired to invent on principle. He also produced amongst others real products such as his synthesizer which received rave reviews.

Then again we can't be good at everything.
