    When I took first year calculus the prof. came out and just started writing formulas on the board and talking about limits to infinity. I had to no idea why I was doing anything I just followed the rules. I managed to scrape through derivatives but integration did not well so I took the full course again the next year. This time the prof was like Eddie Woo. She explained everything in terms of physics and the "why" of each exercise. The second time I got an A in the course and I really loved it. I am now a science teacher and this experience has always informed my teaching.

    Makes you appreciate how hard these teachers work. Beautiful example of how it should be done: pass on knowledge while interacting with students on their level. Students feel this man as genuine and passionate and treat him with respect because of that.

I'm not absolutely in love with math but it does have very interesting stuff going on with it & I find that when you can make it fun & interesting, your performance tends to go up gee weird how that happens huh.
