As person who took five years of math at the university level, allow me to say that if you bailed out of math during or after high school....it is like clicking on the “preview”, but never going to see the “movie”.

Nice post!

As a person who took just one course of College Algebra and struggled to get an 89.5% by the end, I learned enough to highly appreciate the science and its place in our universe.

For me, I place much more value on subjects I struggle to understand than those that come easily.

Peace

Yeah but the scene where they are factoring poly’s with multiple case methods felt like a Quinton Tarantino movie!

For whatever reason, me and any kind of higher math never mixed. My sister thought algebra, calc, trig, and the rest were simple.

I could usually work out long winded accounting problems. She would melt down.

As a person whose only failed class in high school was Geometry, I can honestly say that I saved lots of time by skipping the class and not studying since I've never had a need for it in my entire life.......

Unfortunately my parents didn't feel the same way........LOL!
