[rescue] Cooling (Long Message, sorry)

[Andrew Weiss]

I found it exactly the opposite... I got C's in Geometry, B's in 
Pre-calc, and A's in Calculus

Calculus made everything instantly clear.  I had the right toolbox for 
the job... no more memorizing meaningless equations...(i.e. the 
Pythagorean theorem made total sense now)  Now I could derive them if I 
forgot them on a test which I often did.  By the time I finished calcs, 
I had memorized 80% of a large integral table. (and could derive them if 
I forgot)
