Cuz' it's a beautiful discipline. Calc studies the rate of change. The change can be a physical process such as movement, or a chemical process, market forces, populations, the movements of the stars and planets, or just about anything.
It's like getting to open the back of a clock while it's running and see the gears ticking away. It is a glimpse into the inner workings of all things.
I'm seriesly math challenged. I make LOTS of careless errors. But I get concepts and seeing everything fit together is a beautiful and moving thing for me. Anyway, without starting a crevo debacle... Learning calc was a very philosophical and faith-promoting process. It deepened my appreciation for the perfection of every detail built into this world.
Back to work!!!
Okay, I can see why some folks would study it. I just don't feel like I've missed much of life because I didn't.
On another note (and don't tell Stinky), Corin is feeling a strong urge to awaken his inner artist. Those paint brushes have been idle for too long. I need to forget the excuse of not having the space I need. I just need to do it.
I'm hesitant to make New Year's resolutions. But it's time I took seriously 1) my online seminary studies, 2) writing and 3) art.
But then, life happens...
