Math Ain’t Gonna Get me Down

Math and I have had a love/hate relationship through the years. Back in high school, it was my most feared subject. It was like another language to me and I always felt like it took far longer than my peers to conceptualize. In the rear-view mirror, I probably wasn’t giving myself enough credit. But asContinueContinue reading “Math Ain’t Gonna Get me Down”
