    Like the old joke goes: 5 out of 4 people aren’t good at math.

    Joking aside, however, it is true that many people have an aversion to math. I do not know why; I always found it to be one of my favorite subjects. It is logical and objective. An answer is right or wrong. It was always the subjective courses that I dreaded, because a person never knows how a prof is going to grade a paper. (i.e., Is a grade dependent upon how close my opinion lines up with the prof’s?)

    In any case, all the best in this endeavor. I hope you are successful in helping many people overcome their math anxieties.
