I was awful in algebra. I scored barely well enough to advance to geometry. One day in geometry I had a B.F. Skinner-type white light moment. From that moment on I was an A student in math and went on to major in Math at college.Good for you! Most people never have such a moment. How did yours happen for you?

"Good for you! Most people never have such a moment. How did yours happen for you?"I can't say for sure. I suspect I just recognized patterns more effectively in geometry, which is more visual. It (algebra) all beclame clear in an instant. Sorry, that's the best way that I can describe it.

I failed every math class in college twice before passing.
I made a B in Trig on the first try. The only thing I can figure why is that trig gives you a visual with the problem.
