Just about socked him. Anyway, he was trying to encourage me about the darn math so now I'll just think in terms of quilting and I should be ok, right? :roll: :lol:
EXACTLY!
When I got to geometry in high school, I totally rejected the concept because of the theorems/theorums? Root word of theorum/em - - theory. Who has time to MEMORIZE theories????
Then, when I found quilting, I began to notice the connection, and felt badly that my math teacher had not been able to help us understand the connection between geometry in numerous fields - - construction, quilting.
You have a good math teacher <g>.
When my children started learning basic math, one of my more intelligent chilluns converted everything to dollars and cents and did swimmingly!
