5. I took one semester of a business based calculus.

Found it totally fascinating, and by the end of the semester I realized that everything I looked at could be interpreted as a calculus problem. Wow.

I have a phenomenally smart son who is in a PhD program in astronomy on the east coast, and as brilliant as I, his mother, thinks he is, I cannot begin to imagine him figuring out something like calculus.

I wonder what Isaac's mother thought.
