It is not surprising whatsoever that I am writing randomly after a long break of forgetting, business, lack of concentration and other lame excuses for not writing. The topic of my post however is extremely surprising. I usually write about deep thoughts inspired by struggles or conversations. I usually vaguely reference certain people in my life, or discuss worries about my future.
To make things more surprising, you must know something about me. I have always absolutely despised math. I have been terrible at it, I dread doing it and I have just never understood the concepts.
If you are able to put two and two together (Ha! math reference), you have now realized that I am writing about math. (take this moment to gasp, reread to make sure you saw correctly, and hopefully be extremely intrigued to further read).
Not to be disappointing, but I am going to write a post inspired by math, rather than spitting out a bunch of numbers and fancy mathematical terms.
I am currently taking The Nature of Mathematics, and so far I have enjoyed the class. We have studied the background information of mathematical concepts and abstract ideas. I have begun to realize that in order to keep from losing your head in that class, you must simply accept what the professor says as complete truth, even if your logic screams otherwise.
This idea of just dropping all of your logic to better understand the class has shown me what my problem was with math all of these years.
As I've probably touched on before, I rely heavily on logic and reasoning, I cannot let it go, and as you can see: I solved my math failure problem. I'd call that a good day.
