Or why this former math major can't read those numbers in medical/psychology papers: way too applied, you know, and only something taught to students of lesser fields, such as medecine or, worse, business.
LOL.
That is funny on another level as I have an MBA and proofed the math in life science papers for many years.
Given my experiences in the latter, I can sympathize with your struggles. Believe me, its not you!!
I love the purity cartoon, too. I started out in engineering, switched to math, then took a lot of hands on electives and now am very hands on in my job. The pure mental aspect still comes into play from time to time to diagnose problems.
