I remember, back in the 1940s, when Algebra was added to our maths learning.
In the first three quarters of the year I was bottom of the class.
THEN it jelled!--and, at the end of the year, I was top of the class!

What was the "medium of understanding" that provided that "jell" factor?

ps More laughs about life!---I went on to enjoy playing around with Calculus.
BUT, the real laugh, in my very early 20s,---- in one of Aussies biggest companies,----
I was asked if I had an University education!

They asked, would you believe, because I regularly used a Slide Rule!

I AM NOT MAKING THAT UP!
