You go to hell. For me, math was no because I was too busy being awesome back in 1997. lawl.
Seriously though, it's good to realize that a lot of the stuff that has held me back in math stemmed solely from the fact that I never paid attention in high school, and not because I'm still an idiot.
I just always lacked the basics that everything else was built on. I learned that the hard way when I did College Algebra (which I passed with a high B, first time around. That's miraculous for me, considering I didn't even know how to work with fractions going into it...)
Admittedly, not ever taking (or remembering) any sort of trigonometry prior to taking a college level physics class was sort of a dumb move, (I thought it'd be a conceptual class) but thankfully it turns out pretty much every sort of calculation we'll be doing is Trig-based, and I've managed to watch a couple videos and learn pretty much everything I was like "WUT" about when the instructor was busy assuming everyone already knew what he was talking about. (not his fault, I guess.)
