I wouldn't say I ~hate~ math, I just don't go out of my way to do more than I absolutely need. I got up to Trigonometry in HS and then fullfilled the math requirement in college (with College Algebra), and that was that.
The rest of my family, however... I may have mentioned this before, but my dad is a middle school math teacher (who teaches a couple college classes on the side), my mother is a college math teacher, and my brother is a college math professor and is now the Dean of the math department (and is my parents' boss to boot, heh). In fact, my dad is strange enough that he likes to sit around with a book of math puzzles for fun.
I had advanced music theory to get my analytical side in shape! ;~)
But music theory has that math component as well. I made it through the first year. Second year I changed my major to English after the first quarter.
My uncle is a college professor with a Masters in Science & Math.
I tell him all the time that its his fault I don't like math. He took all of the math DNA for himself and it never made it to his nieces. :P
I need some NW advice. Bush is easing salmon habitat restrictions. The libs are in uproar and I've been in and out of conversation with some on this.
Have y'all heard anything local?
