Interesting.
I'm a mathematical moron as well. I've taken calculus two or three times. AT
THE INSTANT the instructor was explaining it....I barely understood it. A
week after the course was over it was as if I had never been exposed to the
subject.
Like you I'm basicly visual. If I can't visualize 'what's going on" then i'm
pretty well lost. Consequently Quantum mechanics gives me fits.
To that extent I suspect that there ARE different types of "intellegence".
Or maybe a different word is needed. Perhaps your term "mental
archetecture" is pointing us in a useful direction.
