Math was always easy enough for me.
My only challenge was trying to keep stupid arithmetic errors from creeping in during the process of solving the problem.
What a great discussion - especially the comparison between math and programming. Funny I never thought of it that way. Then again I'm not a mathematician so maybe I'm missing something.
I think this requires an actual post. *grin*
