The U policy was that you had to take Calculus before you would understand physics, but it was the opposite for me. Intelligence isn't the same for everyone.

Wow, it was the same for me. I got a low score on the math SAT but nearly aced the physics ACT. Numbers puzzled me for a long time but when it came to applying them it was ezpz. I was always better with hands on.
