 lol.  Seriously?  I'm not even going to discuss the "...willingness to talk..." statement.

As far as the 2 books I mentioned? I'm dead serious. REI is mainly numbers with $$$ signs in front.

Geometry teaches how to multi-task and solve problems. Algebra teaches how to apply them. Way too many REI struggle with this. I'm trying to tell you that from the beginning, understanding Geometry and Algebra can prevent that from happening.
