Or try to do those six one month later when you are on a different topic. It
is amazing how quickly you forget skills.  I still rip my hair out wondering
"How to I factor cubic equations . . ."  arrrrghh.

The question is how to make math socailly acceptable.  Most of the people I

team mates on the Academic Decathlon who call us "Math and Science Geeks" to
enjoy math.  

... I know it all. I just can't remember it all at once.
