Years ago during college I had to take a number of mathclasses that I’d never been exposed to. I got by in introductory calculus. What was weird was when I took multivariable calc, I found that fun andactually did well in it. Couldn’t manageit now, too many years in IT where knowing how to use it hasn’t had a use.
I always had trouble in math. My eyes glazed over when the guy was explaining the "circles" in an Amway demonstration or when I was a car salesman and I had to figure the selling price with the trade-in value. After I started dong it myself it became easier. I wonder about the problem of mathematics, because as a musician I have no trouble reading rhythms that's all about ratios and and addition, I think. As a youngster i had little trouble drawing and building scale models - ratios again, I guess.
Good thing you didn't have to take statistics.Took me 4 years to pass two years of high school algebra. Never could see any use for it. I can't learn abstract subjects like math and music theory. I have to see it and work with it. I taught myself to play piano without lessons or music. Still can't read sheet music. I have to look at the keyboard. Did get through plane geometry with a C. I could see and visualize it. Yet when I took the ground school test to get my pilots license, I got the highest mark in the class - and there were about 80 people taking, including MIT graduates, etc. Weight and balance, time and distance, fuel consumption, navigation, wind triangles. When it meant something to me, I could do it.
