An excellent math teacher/scientist/inventor in our area claims that ALL GT kids are good at math if they are taught properly. If they have the facility to use language and/or to solve problems creatively, they have the ability to be good at math. Math is a language, and creativity is required if you're doing it right.
I think there's something to that. Though I suspect it's too late for me...
I didn't know they were seperate until it was too late and I hated math.
As dear old dad (a real Mr. Spock) used to say, my pointy ears really perked up when I read these...
And now, my new mantra: 'patterns. patterns.'
