Student: I stink at math.
Frazz: Do you like being right? If you do the proper steps to solve a math problem, you're guaranteed to be right.
Student: But I really truly believe I stink.
Frazz: That's another way to be right.
Interestingly enough, that’s probably true. That is, if your “real world” doesn’t involve a technical job where math is required to function on a day-to-day basis. For most of the world, in fact, they can get by without geometry, trig and calc. But those that DO have these basics down are primarily responsible for the technological marvels we use every day.
