Same here. Me and higher math never, ever, ever gelled.

My sister thinks algebra, calc, trig, and the like are funny and would burn right through problems.

However she would melt down at moderate to complex accounting problems. I tended to do rather well.

Funny you should say that. I took calculus, diff Eq, linear algebra, and stats in college and did very well. But....I dropped the one accounting class I took. Why? I just found the procedure simultaneously repetitive and confusing. That always kind of bothered me.

Not trying to diss accountants. I have lots of respect for the profession, especially my accountant. But I do think there are different categories of math that require very different mental skill sets.
