Understanding the concepts is the easy part. If you make one teeny-tiny arithmetic error it messes up the whole algebra thing! Even if you get the right formula and know how do to the problems, carelessness will kill you on a test.
There is no mercy, no grace, or forgiveness. Now, art allows for "happy accidents". You can take a mistake and make it a beautiful thing. Math is cold, hard, and cruel.
Who can be that exact? My brain just doesn't work that way and my kids all seem to take after me in this aspect. Why are literary types generally not so good at math?

it must have to do with the part of the brain people are dominant with. the artsy people utilize one part of their head whereas the math or science oriented ones utilize a different half. this should partially explain behavior as well as thought processes.
