my father could do anything with math. i think he thought in numbers. when we started the "new math" in school, i could not get it. dad would show me a way to solve the problem, but when i did it in school the problem would be marked "wrong" because i didnt do it "the right" way. so now i'm blocked. i can do geometry fairly easy since i do it in my job every day, but normal regular math. no. my mind goes blank.
