I suck at math, having been classified as being "mentally retarded" in elementary school. After being told by some teachers in junior and early high school that I would never be able to study "higher math", I started studying calculus just after my junior year in high school, after checking out this cheap calculus book from my local (Sumner) library. No chapters on limits, just derivatives and integrals; little theory but lots of applications. After six weeks of daily studying often outside in the hot humid evening I took the ACT exam, having no idea of what score I would get. I got a 32, scoring in the 99th percentile.
