Thanks for your response, Crossless.
(1) I have no formal college education in mathematics: mathematics is strictly a matter of personal curiosity for me. As a result, I've taught myself high school algebra, trig, pre-calculus and multiple college undergraduate level math subjects.
(2) I agree that good math instructors are few and far between. However, while I'm enthusiastic about math, I've studied enough math to know that I do not possess the brilliance, mastery, or creativity to do anything special with it (whether it be teaching or any number of mathematics careers). Thus, IMO, it is best to leave mathematics instruction to the talented and enthusiastic individuals, so that they can make a difference in people's lives.
I appreciate the time that you took to reply to me, Crossless. Thanks.
