Puts some new perspective on what seemed like stupid things i did in college on my way to get a BA in math. (I sort of fell into it after deciding against other majors.) For example I decided to take the Quantum Physics for Chemestry majors my sophomore year that didn't require the Differential Equations class. I just though Quantum Mechanics sounded fun. I struggled so much in the first half of that class. But it turns out that so did all those junior Chem Majors. But I had an advantage, I was enrolled in Differential Equations concurrently and by the end of the Quantum class I realized how stupid it was to try and learn the subject without the necessary math.
What really frustrates me with my son's Alebgra II class this year is that he really ENJOYED Alegebra I & Geometry. He had enthusiastic and good teachers. But his currently class just seems like a chore. Perhaps he will have new perspective on these things when he gets to Chemistry.
