Loved reading this. Just got myself a job, to come back to this gem. That last part though "Those crazy bastards will tell you to your face taht an infinite repeating number of nines equals one. That's absurd. But it does, and I can prove it with math." hahahah. Dealing with approximations and good enough... on point. I wish I'd/will learn so much as yourself

It is never too late. Learning to learn is more important than the accumulation of knowledge.
Glad you liked it, by the way. I'm a heretic in the mathematical community. My research was in application of the Chaos Theory to modeling traffic, making predictions, and I was told that such was futile. It was actually rather effective and is why I'm retired today. Never accept someone telling you you're wrong unless they have lots of evidence to support their claim. Then, of course, be open to changing your views.
Note: I seldom say what people should do. I will say I think people should do that. It has been effective for me and it's the logical way to live life.

Wow. Happy for your status! Chaos theory huh. I think I should continue learning math. Thanks buddha
