Oh no, I can do that fine, I just don't know what those particular ones mean. I could do it fine, I just never had the will to carry on leearning it because I'd got to a stage where I knew more than enough for everyday already. Obviously if you don't know what one of them means you can't really make any sense of it.

Ah.

So 2.7 to the power of (∏ x the square root of -1) = -1?

i just have a mental block when it comes to maths. it feels like i have a massive, daunting brick wall infront of me.
i don't know my times tables.
i still use my fingers for everything.
the only thing i can work out on paper is adding up.
half of my degree is statistics and its such a massive struggle for me. i have to have all of the extra help and lunch time sessions. its so embarassing.
