<p>I avoided all math that wasn't just basic algebra. I thought I'd like geometry because I knew it was about shapes. Never did catch on to what those 'theorums' had to do with anything.</p>
<p>And what was the big deal about bisecting an angle? Why would I even want to do that?</p>

<p>I just could not get the concept of algebra in the 9th grade. And I was on the college prep track with A's and B's in everything else (except PE when we did basketball--totally another story). My dad would sit down with me every night and try to help me and I would cry and not get it. It went on like that until the end of the first semester when we had the all-city exams. I went through the whole thing and answered every question and was finished way before…</p>

My dad would sit down with me every night and try to help me and I would cry and not get it. It went on like that until the end of the first semester when we had the all-city exams. I went through the whole thing and answered every question and was finished way before anybody else. I thought I had screwed up so I went through it again and I couldn't find any changes I wanted to make, so I waited until other kids started handing in their papers and I handed mine in too.</p>
<p>When the scores came back, my teacher was shocked to see that I had answered every question correctly. One other guy in the school had the same score, but everyone expected it of him. From then on, I understood algebra. Calculus, though! And statistics! Totally clueless. And then I ended up working for almost 40 years for statisticians. Go figure~~~</p>
<p>Now I know if I wanted a mental hobby just for the exercise, it could be math. I just don't get it. I'd only need one book and it would last me the rest of my life.</p>
