Guys,
I leave myself wide open for ridicule and smart comments... but I will say it anyway. I am 30 years old and because I couldn't place high enough on my college math entrance exam, I have to take two remedial math classes for no credit, just so I can get to the freshman level math class I do need. The math class I am in is called Math 800 and it starts out with Addition and Subtraction. I got that ok. Then it moved into Multiplication and Division. Something I thought would be a breeze as well and I have all of a sudden hit a road block. I can't remember my times tables past anything X 6. I can't even remember how to properly do long division. Man do I feel stupid. I have a successful career, a wonderful family, a roof over my head... I feel like I am a pretty successful guy.... until you put 35/5436 if front of me. First of all, I haven't had any type of math since 1994.. my junior year of High School.... but I still feel stupid just because I have to take the class in the first place. I am sure I can pick this stuff up and I will get through this... but even my 5 year old knows more math than I do! LOL My wife... is very supportive however. I am extreamly lucky for that. She got her PhD in Physical Chemestry so she has a huge math background. She has offered to help, but I am to damn embarassed to even ask her.
Well I am sorry for dumping in here guys. Take care.
