I'll never forget having to re-learn high-school algebra when I started going to college after the army. I spent numerous evenings pouring over how to do the stuff, and it was always hard the first time around. What got me through it was practice, practice, practice. Nowadays, it's almost second nature when I need to solve something mathmatically. My best friend was my TI-85 graphing calculator.
This is the first math class I've taken since 1987, and that was calculus (ick). I'm only in it because it's a pre/co-req for the intro programming class. Technically class doesn't start until next week, but it's an online independent study, so I figured I'd get a jump on it. This was a good decision to have made, because this way I don't have to worry about falling asleep in class and I can work through things steadily rather than in big chunks once a week.
Most things I need to solve that use math tend towards geometry and a healthy does of Pythagoras. And fabric.
