There once was a magnificent mathematical horse. You could teach it arithmetic, which
it learned with no difficulty, and algebra was a breeze. It could even prove theorems in
Euclidean geometry. But when it tried to learn analytic geometry, it would rear back on
its hind legs, and make violent head motions in resistance.
The moral of this story is that you can’t put Descartes before the horse. If you have
a study routine that you are happy with and you are getting the grade you want from
