Don't be so hard on yourself, knowing what'll fit in your trunk, refrigerator, or what not, is a subjective form of multi-variable calculus.
And knowing about how close you can have something on your stove to the hot spot without catching fire would be a form of partial differential equations.
So now you can tell people you are a math genius!
LOL! If so, it’s only thanks to my hubby. I’ve always had a problem with anything other than basic math. Algebra and trig gave me fits. I took calc in college and if it hadn’t been for hubby, then my fiance, If have never gotten through it.
But I use math on a daily basis.
If young’uns were persuaded that being able to do math would truly makes their lives better in all kinds of ways, and it does, then even if their publik skrewl teachers suck, kids might find someone else to help them learn it.
