C&M has brought to me something I thought I would never have-- a bit of understanding of the important relationships in mathematics. Some people (say in my [traditional] calc I class) were able to look at the texts and seem to understand, but I have been frustrated very many times by not being able to. I guess that's why I signed up for this class. I used to not like math. But I was just being a product of the way I was taught.
I wouldn't be doing this stuff [at Pixar] if it weren't for those classes. It's all math and working together with other people.
