I had such a thrill the other day, when I finally realised I understood how to perform prime factorisation for a number. This is a major move forward for me, given how prone I have been to crying rather than understanding mathematics. It's a discipline whose intricacies, despite my logical mind, have always eluded me. But when I decided to go back to university I signed up for this very basic math course because I'm determined, just for the hell of it, to do something active about tearing down the wall between my mind and its understanding of things numeric.
