Graham Sutherland / Polynomial's Post

@r I'm also a visual learner. I can't do abstract concepts; I need a concrete example and application. I spent the first 75% of calculus at school being unable to grok it at all, blindly following rules and procedures by rote, until my physics teacher happened to put the equations of motion on the board in a certain order and suddenly it clicked that they were derivatives of one another, and that calculus was about modelling dependent behaviours like rates of change, and then I understood fine.
