“In all fairness, one of Princeton’s highest faculty members was poor at basic math. However he was a whiz at the higher levels. His name was Al Einstein I believe.”

Do you really believe that statement?

Really?

Can't do basic math and a genius at higher level math?

Do you realize the craziness of that statement?

Or do you prefer to believe that kids not know BASIC math willmiraclulost be Einsteins?

LOL!!!

At one time it was reported that A.E. really had trouble with the simple concepts. His thought process was so far advanced. I remember a newsreel purporting that he needed help with his taxes. Just saying.

Do you really believe that statement?

Absolutely.

IIRC Einstein could not balance his checkbook. The skill set for doing calculus is completely different from adding sums. I could easily do calculus, but adding the sums they used to give us before calculators was difficult for me
