Hey... I think I actually like math now...

:lol: I never thought this day would come, but I think I like math now. Now I took Trig in the summer, it just opened my mind :worship: Mind Blowing... I can really get going on my robot project. I have everything in my notebook, I might elaborate and post it in my blog tomorrow. But the weird thing is that it all came to me during only of my SAT Prep classes, which are so dull, so I never pay attention, then it hit me. I am actually looking forward to my junior year and Math Analysis, and AP Physics, I am pretty sure I will have more Mind Blowing events after taking those classes 8-)

Woo! Welcome to the club. I totally lost interest in math in junior high, but it kind of snapped back at the end of high school. I had a couple good teachers and the curriculum stopped seeming so trivial - I could actually visualize and use the stuff I was doing... which is funny enough what made me interested in thing that were less immediately application-oriented (maybe I had more faith that it was actually worth something). If you feel that way, and you like physics, then you'll probably love calculus/analysis.
